To Do Task: Discuss with peer

A robot can take basic commands

FD - move forward

RT - do a right turn

What would be the list of commands to

draw the square on the right?

A more advanced robot can be told how far to go forward or how much to turn in degrees
Like FD 100 (go forward 100 steps)
and RT 90 (turn right by 90 degrees)
What will be the list of commands to make that square now?

Try it - You make a square
