Pros
They accepted one of my HITs. Unfortunately TV thinks that means they overturned my rejection. They did not.Cons
You get plopped in a random location of a building and told to find a room and a thing in that room. The first problem is that the map takes so long to download that often the HIT is underpaid from the start. The biggest problem is that you aren't told where you are in the building, not even the level. In one HIT, the target room was on a different level, but the instructions didn't say that. In another there was no such room (a foyer) on the level they told me to go to. You spend so much time wandering around that the pay is abysmal. Oh, and now I'm getting rejections for "poor quality". Thanks.Advice to Requester
At least say what level you are on in the building. Frankly, you should have instructed the previous workers to say what level a room is on even if they don't change levels. The pay should have been doubled to account for the map download, and probably quintupled to account for all the wandering around.Poor quality
This rejection was overturned!

Give a Robot Commands to Interact with an Object in a Virtual Environment - $0.20
Fair

Approved
$7.27 / hour

Pros
Apparently I got faster as I did more of these.Cons
Some of the maps load slowly on my slow-ish internet connection.You often have limited information to describe, e.g., which bathroom to send the robot, plus you can't mention any other objects when giving a command. This makes these HITs agonizing when trying to come up with a location and manipulation command.

Pros
-Straightforward-Tutorial video to show you how to do them
-Did about 20 and averaged around 40 seconds per, which is acceptable pay to me
-Typing the instructions as the video plays is a considerable time saver
Cons
-All writing, so if you hate writing you probably won't like them
