Clearly designate the starting position
If the floor is tiled, use a few tiles. If the floor has lines, use a few lines. Always mark the starting and the final lines for reference.
Students will forget where exactly the start and the end are, and you as a teacher must mark the start and the end on the floor.
Manage students to take turns
Use one testing area per 10-12 students and teach them to respect a waiting line.
The distance and when the task is solved
Choose a distance on your own. Any distance will work well, especially if it has a meaning.
A distance with a meaning is the height of the student: "Move as far with the robot as the height of a student".
Be strict with the task
You must decide what range of distances near the end marker count as enough to solve the task. Is 5 cm near the end marker an acceptable solution? Is 10 cm acceptable? Is 2 cm acceptable?
Decide that and teach your students precision and that you have your criteria for a successfully solved challenge.
Also, make sure you encourage your students to try again and again.

Robotics with LEGO SPIKE Prime - Level A1
The first level of the LEGO robotics curriculum for second, third, and fourth-grade students.
A "space adventure", but with robots. Different robot structures are built in this level. The motors are controlled so that the robots perform precise movements around the "earth", "moon" and "sun". We overcome various obstacles after bumping into them thanks to the force sensor. We learn interesting facts about the solar system and space vehicles.
