Level 6 - Getting past the drone

Question

In level 6 of Untrusted, how do I avoid the attack drone? I've tried creating a new object type that could act as a blocker, but the drone manages to get around it, and I'm convinced there has to be an easier solution that I'm just not seeing.

The drone has a very simple "AI" that chooses moves in a dumb way, so you can exploit that to trap it.

The way I exploited this was:

You can actually rebind the moveToward variable, and the re-bound function will be used by the drone. This allows you to trivially reprogram the drone to do movement you want.

or you can build self defences drones :)

map.defineObject('selfDefenceDrone', {
'type': 'dynamic',
'symbol': 'X',
'color': 'green',
'onCollision': function (player) {
player.killedBy('an attack drone');
console.log('killled!');
},
'behavior': function (me) {
moveToward(me, 'attackDrone');
console.log(me.findNearest('attackDrone'));
console.log('-------------');
}
});

map.placeObject(map.getWidth()-9, 12, 'selfDefenceDrone');
map.placeObject(map.getWidth()-5, 16, 'selfDefenceDrone');
map.placeObject(map.getWidth()-5, 8, 'selfDefenceDrone');
map.placeObject(map.getWidth()-1, 14, 'selfDefenceDrone');
