    1. Open RoboMind. Open the map "openAreaBeacons2.map". Zoom out.

    2. This Lab DOES NOT USE Remote Control! Use Edit and Insert

    3. Collect as many beacons as you can. Put the beacons in the white fenced in yard.

      Here is some code to start with: 

      	# Use the map "openAreaBeacons2.map"

	forward(2)
	pickUp
	backward(2)
	putDown
	left
	forward(3)
	pickUp
	backward(3)
	putDown
	right
	right
	forward(3)
	pickUp
	backward(3)
	putDown
	right
	forward(4)
	pickUp

      Fifth beacon:

      All beacons put away:
