There is an example of the field locations shown on the picture above. Mark the beginning, from where the dump truck will start moving. Then, mark the shipyard, where you will locate the crane. Then, mark the dump points for the three resources – blue balls (natural gas), yellow balls (gold) and red balls (rubies). You can indicate the dump points by leaving a ball of the respective color on a rubber piece in order to secure it. Nevertheless, it would be better to mark the dump point under the ball, on the field, so that you can return the ball to its exact place if anyone pushes it away.

Level C2. "Cooperation". Robotics with LEGO
The sixth level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in third or fourth grade.
For the first time two different robots are required to solve a challenge. Students learn how to cooperate and find a common approach to the challenges and how to distribute their roles. Various robots are built, even a crane that loads a truck. Students use two sensors at the same time so that they find their target and find out whether their partner-robot is ready with their part of the challenge.
