This simulates a LEGO NXT robot performing the Moonbots challenge
(Details at www.moonbots.org).
The robot movements are controlled by a text script file.
The simulation program shows the movements of the robot and plots its waypoints and course.

The same script language is used to control our actual NXT robot for the Moonbots challenge.
The script file can include the following commands:

forward (parameter is distance in cm)
turnTo (parameter is compass heading in degrees)
positionWall (parameters are compass heading in degrees, and distance from wall in cm)
takePhoto
grabLoop
peakWait
