The table below lists Playgrounds that use the Standard VR Robot and a short description of what the Playground is used for.

Playground	Description
Art Canvas	Draw images on the ground using the VR Robot’s pen.
Castle Crasher	Knock down all of the castle objects on the field.
Disk Maze	Navigate through a color-coded maze using the Eye Sensor to detect and follow colored paths.
Disk Mover	Use the Electromagnet to sort colored Disks into their matching color zones.
Disk Transport	Navigate around a castle, pick up Disks with the Electromagnet, and sort them into their matching color zones.
Dynamic Castle Crasher	Knock down all castle objects on a layout that changes every time the project runs.
Dynamic Wall Maze	Navigate through a maze that is randomly generated each time the project runs.
Encoded Message	Use the Eye Sensor and Lists to decode binary ASCII characters into a hidden message.
Grid Map	Practice navigating and moving the VR Robot across a gridded Playground.
Hidden Pixel Art	Use the Eye Sensor and 2D Lists to reveal hidden artwork one pixel at a time.
Line Detector	Detect and identify differently colored lines across the Playground.
Number Grid Map	Practice counting, navigating, and moving across squares numbered 1 to 100.
Shape Tracer	Trace pre-drawn shapes on the ground using the VR Pen.
Wall Maze	Navigate through a maze to reach the exit.
