Rocker()
PrintLn(x,y)

The immediate window can also be used to control the robot. Immediate commands must be a single line but can have multiple instructions. The following code is exactly the same as earlier code, but on a single line.

Rocker():PrintLn(x,y)

The buzzer is not added in the driver. It can simply be accessed using the Sound feature on pin 0.
