In a clear room, play robot with a grown-up. Close your eyes for a few slow steps. Your grown-up is the program and uses only what you can sense. Try a touch rule: if you feel the wall, turn around. Which senses did you use?
Do the Mission: in a clear room, play robot together. Close your eyes for a few slow steps while your grown-up is the program. Try a touch rule: if you feel the wall, turn around. Which senses did you use?
