Robot Path: Program a robot: steps, turns, repeat loops, fix the bug

Kids program a robot across a circuit board by lining up command tiles (forward, turn, repeat) and pressing Run. Levels go from a straight path to steering around a rock, turning, using repeat loops, and finding the bug in a program that doesn't work.
