Task Description
Rapid Router levels 1-18 have a feature that we call "direct drive arrows".
They were originally put in to help young learners with directing the van, however over the last few years, various workshops and school visits have highlighted that the arrows cause more confusion than clarity. As the van moves after a arrow press, the equivalent block is added to the workspace (even if the block isn't originally available in the level), and if the van drives off the road, there is no instant feedback that the van would crash.
The left & right arrows also causes extra confusion as they are from the player's perspective instead of the van's.
Because of this, we've decided to remove the feature completely.
