+# Robot Simulator
+
+Write a robot simulator.
+
+A robot factory's test facility needs a program to verify robot movements.
+
+The robots have three possible movements:
+
+- turn right
+- turn left
+- advance
+
+Robots are placed on a hypothetical infinite grid, facing a particular
+direction (north, east, south, or west) at a set of {x,y} coordinates,
+e.g., {3,8}, with coordinates increasing to the north and east.
+
+The robot then receives a number of instructions, at which point the
+testing facility verifies the robot's new position, and in which
+direction it is pointing.
+
+- The letter-string "RAALAL" means:
+  - Turn right
+  - Advance twice
+  - Turn left
+  - Advance once
+  - Turn left yet again
+- Say a robot starts at {7, 3} facing north. Then running this stream
+  of instructions should leave it at {9, 4} facing west.
+
+## Running tests
+
+Execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ mix test
+```
+
+### Pending tests
+
+In the test suites, all but the first test have been skipped.
+
+Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by
+commenting out the relevant `@tag :pending` with a `#` symbol.
+
+For example:
+
+```elixir
+# @tag :pending
+test "shouting" do
+  assert Bob.hey("WATCH OUT!") == "Whoa, chill out!"
+end
+```
+
+Or, you can enable all the tests by commenting out the
+`ExUnit.configure` line in the test suite.
+
+```elixir
+# ExUnit.configure exclude: :pending, trace: true
+```

+the [available resources](https://exercism.io/tracks/elixir/resources)
+out there where answers might be found.
