RoboMind 2.2.1 -- Open Source Version

I downloaded this program the other night and played around with it for about an hour. You can operate the robot remotely to get an idea of how he moves around before actually writing a program script. Robo can move forward and back and turn around 360 degrees in either direction. Robo can also paint in white or black -- he trails the paint from behind him as he moves along in a forward direction. He can write stuff like the word ROBOT. There are example scripts that you can open and use before writing your own. Example two: find the white spot -- looks like this:

repeat(){
if(leftIsWhite()){
# There's a white spot on your left
left()
forward(1)
end
}
else{
# There's no white spot yet
forward(1)
}
}

"ROBO is a new and very simple educational programming language that will familiarize you with the basics of computer science. You will also be introduced into popular programming techniques, and you will gain an insight into areas such as robotics and artificial intelligence. These skills will be gained by creating programs for a robot.

RoboMind is meant to be a first introduction to automation and programming without prerequisites. Because many different exercises can be made, the difficulty level can be tailored to the audience. In primary education pupils can get acquainted to writing commands to navigate the robot through its environment, on high school programming structures get more attention and universities focus on the theoretical aspects of automation theory like Turing machines."

The version that I downloaded is the open source version and it is free. It was a very small download only taking up 1.62 KB of space.
