"We introduced ROBOTC four years ago because students working with robots should spend their time learning scientific, mathematical and engineering principles, not learning a different programming language for each robot platform. "Computer programming is not taught at the middle school level, yet hundreds of thousands of children gain their first programming experience with robots," said Robin Shoop, director of the Robotics Academy. Upgrades from the original release include an interactive, real-time debugger support for a variety of sensors support for WAV and MIDI sound file playback and a new graphical user interface. The package comes complete with compiler, text editor, project editor, and runtime environment. The Robotics Academy at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh has released ROBOTC 2.0, a programming language for robots used in educational environments.ĭeveloped by Robotics Institute engineer Tim Friez and original ROBOTC inventor Dick Swan, the language is applicable to such widely used educational robotics systems as Lego Mindstorms RCX and NXT and Innovation First VEX and Cortex systems.
