The code and output of the given task are as follows:

when started

set drive velocity to 100 %

set count to 1

repeat 3

drive forward for 800 mm

energize Magnet to boost
drive reverse for 800 mm

energize Magnet to drop

drive forward for 1200 mm

energize Magnet to boost

drive reverse for 1200 mm
energize Magnet to drop

drive forward for 1600 mm

energize Magnet to boost

drive reverse for 1600 mm

energize Magnet to drop
if count < 3 then

turn right for 90 degrees

drive forward for 800 mm

turn left for 90 degrees

change count by 1

The explanation of the code is as follows:
The program begins when the when started block is triggered.

The robot’s drive velocity is set to 100%, ensuring it moves quickly.
A variable called count is created and set to 1 at the start.
The robot then repeats the following sequence three times:

● Stage Actions: The robot drives forward a set distance (800 mm, 1200 mm and 1600 mm),
activates its magnet to simulate picking up a disk, reverses the same distances and finally
deactivates the magnet to simulate dropping the disk.
