The pause block is like a code stop sign. It tells the micro:bit to wait for a given amount of time in milliseconds.
While it is waiting whatever you told before the pause will keep happening. So, if you want your robot to drive
forward for 2 seconds, you set the robots motors to drive forward and then pause for 2000 milliseconds and then
have the motors do something else, like stop.
What You Should See
Once your script uploads to your micro:bit make sure the motors switch is changed from “STOP MOTORS” to “RUN
MOTORS.” Press the A button on your micro:bit and your robot will drive forward for 1 second, pivot and the drive
forward for another second then stop.
Go Further: Now that you have a moving robot, can you write a program that would tell your robot to drive in a
square? How about a star? What about having it dance?
