MISSION OBJECTIVE
Send your RECON 6.0 on a search and rescue mission. Only it won’t be looking
for missing mountain climbers or buried treasure. In this mission, your Rover will
fetch a treat for you—the real reason mankind has been dreaming of robots for
so long.
MISSION TRAINING BRIEF
Your Rover will need to travel its course, ask for the object, and then head back to
field command HQ. The course can be as simple or complex as possible. You might
want to make it straightforward, like from the living room to the kitchen, where you’re
most likely to catch someone who can fulfill your request.

MISSION BACKGROUND
Once you’ve decided what you want your Rover to fetch (maybe a cookie, a drink,
or your baseball cards from your baby brother’s clutches), you’ll need to program it
to do your bidding. So record your sound file first—something like, “Please deposit
a cookie into my cargo hold.”
