    Context Help

    If you hold a data connector over a block, input terminals that can accept it will light up. But what does each one do with the values that it receives?

    • Open the Help menu, then select Context Help.

    Hover your mouse cursor over the wire terminal you want to know more about. Try it!

    Mini Challenge 1: Random Distance

    Make the robot move for a random distance (between 1 and 5 rotations):

        In the program above, the Data Wire was plugged into the Power input of the Move Steering Block to create randomized speeds. Which input would create randomized distance?
