Debugging a Program: Running Step-by-Step to Find and Fix Coding Error

The "step" button allows you to run your blockly code one block at a time. When the code lights up orange, the robot will perform the action related to that block. You can use this function to locate, analyze and correct errors "bugs" in programming.

Debugging a Program: Running Step-by-Step Analysis
Problem Statement:

Use the Step function to help you "debug" the pre-placed blocks and move Linkbot along the colored path shown on the coordinate grid.

/* Code generated by RoboBlockly v2.0 */
#include <linkbot.h>
CLinkbotI robot;
double radius = 1.75;
double trackwidth = 3.69;

robot.turnLeft(90, radius, trackwidth);
robot.driveDistance(8, radius);
robot.turnLeft(90, radius, trackwidth);
robot.driveDistance(5, radius);
robot.turnLeft(90, radius, trackwidth);
robot.driveDistance(12, radius);
robot.turnLeft(90, radius, trackwidth);
robot.driveDistance(8, radius);
robot.turnRight(90, radius, trackwidth);
robot.driveDistance(6, radius);
