Robots have become an integral part of modern technology, with applications ranging from
automated manufacturing to entertainment. One of the most fascinating aspects of robots is
their ability to be programmed to perform various tasks. Coding is the process of giving
instructions to robots through a programming language, enabling them to execute specic
actions.

Introduction to Programming Concepts

Programming concepts are important building blocks for creating software, games, and
applications. One of the exciting ways to learn programming concepts is through hands-on
experiences with devices like the Sphero Bolt and Robomaster. These devices allow
students to explore and apply concepts such as conditional statements, loops, variables,
and functions.
Conditional Statements: Conditional statements are used to make decisions in
programming. They allow the software to choose between dierent paths based on certain
conditions.
Loops: Loops are used to repeat a set of instructions multiple times. They are useful when
you want a task to be executed over and over again. For instance, if you want a robot to
move in a square pattern, you can use a loop to repeat the movement instructions four
times. Loops save time and make complex tasks more manageable.
Variables: Variables are used to store and manage data within a program. They act as
containers that hold dierent types of information, such as numbers or text. For example,
you can use a variable to store the speed of a robot or the distance it has traveled. Variables
help make programs exible and adaptable.
