Introducing 'else' in RR

@rdcruzCFL yes. Happy to do this. Do you have the copy?

Hey team! Please add your planning poker estimate with Zenhub @faucomte97 @SKairinos

Instead of:
You can change the If block to make more choices. Click on the star in the If block and add Else if.
This will tell the van what to do if the first If direction can't be done.
For example, tell the van to Turn left If the road exists left. Add Else if the road exists right, Turn right.
This uses fewer blocks and makes sure that only one step is taken in each loop.
This type of algorithm is called a 'general algorithm' as it can be used with most simple routes.

Have this text:
**You can change the if block to make more choices. Click on the cog in the if block and add else if.
This will tell the van what to do if the first if direction can't be done.
You can also add and else block to tell the van what to do if none of the conditions match
For example:
if there is a road ahead, go forwards
else if there is a road left, turn left
else, go right

This is a general algorithm, it can be used for lots of different routes!**

Can that code be a screenshot of the RR code instead?

@SKairinos Just realised we missed the last sentence of the intro text: This is a general algorithm, it can be used for lots of different routes!

We need to add it in.

A new task has been given to @rdcruzCFL , so I think we can close this now? Unless the above didn't get resolved?

Please can we change the title on the pop-up window? It is currently What else? If-else, that's what!
Can it be
What else? If-else if-else, that's what!
