Where does program pause the step for turning and moving robot fwd ?

I understand the logic but don't understand why the arrow doesn't move just to the end. What does it make pause before the next step ?

:point_right: The pause is probably just for demonstration purposes.

You forgot to link to the course page, but if I recall correctly, the pause was explicitly programmed in, presumably so you could observe the operation. Removing the pause does just as you describe, moving the icon directly to the end with no evidence of the path it took to get there.
