Robot Maze

The Robot Maze, also known as the Robot Obstacle Course, is one of the activities in the Third Floor in JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain.

According to Botley, the Robot Obstacle Course is the most dangerous part of the Mountain & Professor Spark therefore uses it to test out new robots & to correct bugs in other robots. This activity consists of a logic puzzle in which the user must unscramble a series of commands to make a robot (named "Buster" in the user's guide though he isn't given a name in the actual program) reach the square on the bottom left corner of the screen. The robot starts at the square on the top right corner of the screen. The run button is at the bottom of the remote control with the robot on it.

Commands

 * Here are the commands with the compass:


 * North
 * South
 * West
 * East
 * 1
 * 2
 * 3
 * 4
 * 5
 * 6
 * 7
 * Bridge
 * Log
 * Jump
 * N = North
 * S = South
 * W = West
 * E = East
 * The traps are quicksand and the obstacles.
 * The pit and the electricity use the dialogue of Botley.
 * The magnet picks up the robot and sends it back to the square on the top right corner.

The Help Button
Using the dialogue of Botley:
 * "To move any of the commands, click on one then drag it to where you want it to go."
 * "The compass points on the back wall show you which direction is north, south, east, & west."
 * "When you're finished putting the commands in the order you want. Click on the run button at the bottom of the remote control. That'll turn on the robot & started moving. Don't worry if your program doesn't work the first time because you can always try again."
 * "Watch out for all the obstacles because the robot won't make it through the maze without you telling it exactly what to do. Also you need to use up all the commands for the robot to pick up the object & bring it back to you."

Robot Falling in the Pit
Using the dialogue of Botley:
 * "Oops! That didn't work! Don't worry! He's okay! See if you can figure out where you went wrong. Change the program then try running it again."
 * "Oh! Too bad! Poor guy! He's either really brave or really stupid. Now you can arrange the commands in a different order and run the program again."
 * "Oh-no! It seems the commands weren't in the right order. Okay! Try putting the commands in a different order then run the program again."
