Usage Instructions

In this game, you will need to plan your way around the room, without bumping into objects.

The distances that Roomba will go are:

  • Backwards or Forwards - 400mm per arrow on the screen.
  • Right or Left - it will turn 90 deg. on spot, and will drive 200mm after turning
The winner is the one that created the longest route without bumping into anything, and without returning to the same point!
Simply create the path on the computer and click "Go" - Your Roomba will follow your instructions and will stop when something is blocking its way.
The scores' window represents the length of your route.
May the best win!
