Thanks for trying! This is a puzzle game, so figuring out what to do is the largest (and most difficult) part, this is intended.
The way the commands work change for each robot, the first one had very simple commands so it wouldn’t be difficult for the player to figure out at first. They get more complex later.
In this first level, once you reach the boxes you really can’t go any further. But the robot has a camera with zoom and you can spy the other room for clues.
