Davonte, Emma, and Aleks are working together to create an algorithm for their robot with the following design requirements: The robot must move forward and backward, the code must include a loop, the code must include a wait or pause, and the code must continue to repeat for as long as the program is running. They came up with the code shown in the diagram, but it isn’t successful. How can the group debug their algorithm to meet the design requirements?

• They need to replace the repeat loop with a wait loop.

• It is coded correctly; they should check their hardware connections.

• They need to replace the repeat loop with a forever loop.

• They need to replace the repeat loop with a drive loop.
