Perform a + b
Problem Statement:
Look on the grid, given a + b. Modify the first Drive-Forward block to move the robot forward by a units and then modify the second Drive-Forward block to move the robot by another b units. Finally, use the robot's final position to answer "What's a + b?" in the answer prompt. Refresh to try another problem. Look at Hint or Solution for example
/* Code generated by RoboBlockly v2.0 */
/* Problem Statement: 
    Add two numbers a + b on a number line. Move the robot tick
    mark along the number line, first to the red line, and then
    to the green line with the two preplaced driveDistance
    blocks. Refresh to try another problem.*/
