Time for a challenge

Build a small LEGO element that can represent Yoda. You will have to attach this element to your R2-D2 robot. You can build it using spare LEGO elements from your BOOST kit/use any of your LEGO minifigures that you have at home. Once done, program your R2-D2 to do the following:

  1. Go and meet Jedi Master Yoda at point A. Rotate R2-D2's head one time when the task is done and change the BOOST Hub light color to purple.
  2. Reorient the position of R2-D2 toward Dagobah, the mysterious force planet. Now, reach this planet in less than 6 seconds with Yoda. Rotate the neck for one full rotation and display the message Landed successfully on Dagobah with the master. Also play a unique sound for 3 seconds.
  3. Now, reorient R2-D2 toward the base position again and program it to reach the base in under 4 seconds.
  4. Calculate the total time taken to perform this activity once you are set with the route. Time taken = __________ seconds.
