Objective: In this activity, you will program your robot chassis to move forward, backward, and spin.

Design Specifications

• Write, download, and run a RoboLab program that does the following:
      - Make the robot chassis move forward at full power for 3 seconds, then stop for 1 second.
      - Make the robot chassis spin to the left for 3 seconds at power level 4, then stop for 2 seconds.
      - Make the robot chassis move backward at full power for 3 seconds, then stop for 1 second.
      - Make the robot chassis spin to the right for 3 seconds at power level 3, then stop. End of program.
• Before each different move, have the robot beep a different sound.
• For Advanced Programmers:
      - Put the above program in a For Loop. Have it loop 3 times. Use jumps to make the above program run forever.
