The getxy() Block

We can use the getxy block to get the current (x, y) coordinate location of the robot. The values of the x and y coordinates will be stored in variables named x and y. The getxy block will only store the x and y coordinates of the robot, not the angle, size, or model characteristics.

The pop-up menu also allows us to use it as a "getposition" block to get the full position of the robot, including its angle of orientation. The value of the robot's angle will be stored in a variable named "angle," and the x and y position will be stored in variables named "x" and "y."

Using the messageBox to Show Variables

We can use messageBox blocks to display the results for each of x, y, and the angle by using the "variable" value to choose which variable we want to display:
