For a school, the same physical route can support assignments at different programming levels. Specify the environment used and the behaviour to observe. Check the generation when managing classroom stock, because power and programming arrangements differ. A teacher can give each task a defined starting position and a simple method for recording results. Reserve charging periods for shared use and identify the computers or tablets available. Additional construction materials should match the task and confirmed kit contents, with the robot’s configuration recorded so comparisons refer to the same hardware generation.
