Step 1: Place a large sheet of paper on a hard and flat surface and tape its edges.
Tip: If you are doing this activity on a tabletop or an elevated surface, block the edges to prevent robots from falling.

Tip: Traced lines may not be straight and accurate as markers may move in different directions.
