Lesson F2.1: My Blocks and Parameters

SPIKE My Blocks name a reusable stack of commands. A parameter lets one definition work with different values, such as drive measured distance called with 30 cm and later 55 cm.

Keep a My Block focused on one job. Mission names are useful for a full route, while action names such as square on wall or close tool are useful for reusable behaviors.

Create My Blocks for your team's repeated drive, turn, and attachment actions. Give parameters units in the name or documentation so centimeters and degrees are not confused.
