Why is discovery important?
It helps us learn new things and solve problems!
How can we solve problems when something goes wrong?
By testing, troubleshooting, and going through the engineering design process and/or code step-by-step.
Why is it important to create a mission strategy, before you start programming?
To have a idea of how you would like to solve the mission, and execute it. If the mission strategy doesn't work out as expected, then you would create a new one.
How do sensors help interpret the map?
They help the robot react to real conditions.
