“What is an array? An array is a variable that holds multiple values. By storing the colour and place of each colour tile, the robot can then sort the objects out mechanically using that data at any time.” (Advanced EV3 Programming Lesson, 2015).

“The colour sorter program uses the Array function to store and play back data. In class we used RobotC to program robots to enter a small room this is only the beginning of what robots can do when programed by RobotC. RobotC is a program that can be used by anyone to program robotic systems to complete real world tasks. How and where is this robot used in society? Using RobotC my partner and I experimented different speeds, rotations and distance that the robot would have to travel before going into the small room. Unlike LEGO Mindstorms, RobotC gives programmers the option to program using a coding technique to program.
#ROBOTC PROGRAMING SOFTWARE#
The activity teaches students about the differences between the software and the different languages and techniques that can be used to program robotic systems. The purpose of the activity is to allow students to gain further knowledge into different types of software that can be used to program EV3s besides using LEGO Mindstorms. RobotC is considered a high level language since it is written in human readable form.” (eTREC Robotics, 2016). Quote: “RobotC is a programing language which allows a programmer to write a ‘C’ like program for the LEGO NXT programmable brick to control a robot. The class was told to work on their own or in pairs to program a EV3 into a small room, using robotc technology. RobotC can provide software for robots that can then be used for education, in competitions or for entertainment purposes. RobotC is a software program that can be used to program robots example EV3. ROBOTC is a C-Based Programming Language with an Easy-to-Use Development Environment.” (, 2016). ROBOTC is the premiere robotics programming language for educational robotics and competitions. “ROBOTC is a cross-robotics-platform programming language for popular educational robotics systems. I found RobotC has a website that is helpful as it provides videos and examples to help you if you get stuck or need guidance. By using RobotC, robotic systems can be programmed to carry out real world activities: eg, move forward, backwards, turn around etc. Because RobotC uses C-based language it can benefit users of the software as it can teach and give it users experience with simple coding. RobotC is a C-based program that gives the user an option of programming a robot using coding language or basic language.
