Mission:
Messy room? No problem! Using Dash and the bulldozer bar, you can program you robot to help you tidy up!

Plan out the path by using Dash as a measuring tool for the floor of your room. Mark your starting point, and then use your hand or a sheet of paper to mark the length of each Dash as you measure the size of your room.
