Spike Prime - Programing Bot - Fedor Agarshev

About the project
This project was inspired by tasks for children on algorithmic thinking. In these tasks, the Child had to give orders to the robot so that it reached the goal. At first, a semblance of such a robot was realized, but already a reality. Then it turned into a game.
In this game, two players play the first one determines the route, goal and starting position of the robot, and the second must go through this route. If the player managed to pass the route
for 3 attempts (you can change the number of attempts, depending on what is more convenient for you), then the player receives a point, you need to remember your points yourself. If the player did not cope, then the one who set the route must pass it for the same number of attempts, and if he copes, he will receive a point. If he fails, then the ball will be given to the opponent who was given the task, because he was given too difficult a task. So the players play up to 3 points.
There is also a second version of the game, both players together form a route. After that, everyone is given an agreed number of attempts to complete the route. The winner is the one who passed using the least number of orders. We recommend changing after each attempt so that it does not happen so that one player will see how the other went and will already know how best to go. If both passed for the same number of orders (or failed to pass), then you can assign an additional attempt or agree to a draw.

Game improvement task
Try to change the passage of the game. For example, for the robot to move from all objects by more than 40 cm. Of course, do not forget to add so that the robot can check all this. If you have ideas, you can add additional orders that you will use in your game.
Evaluate your performance
Think about what you did well and what you could do better next time. And also how could the game be more interesting.
