Next, we will set the continuous servo to turn on in one direction by powering it to 90. The delay will choose how long the servo will spin for. We will set the servo to 0 to turn it off.
#### **3) Approach the Tower:**

Once the tower has been reached, the fork should be lowered to the correct height for the tower. A delay of half a second was added to allow for the servo to settle. Finally, the rover will back away from the tower.

**Tip:**
Try and design your own type of modular cubes that are easy to lift and stack. We’ve provided the measurements for the fork to make designing easier. Maybe you can start a construction project like building a city or a staircase!
