RobotBASIC Tutorial This tutorial is designed to give a quick introduction to RobotBASIC in general, and the integrated simulator in particular. For more detailed information explore the HELP file (available from within RobotBASIC), or view our YouTube videos, or consider one of our books (full information and TOC are available on www.RobotBASIC.com). When you first start RobotBASIC, read and accept the license, and you will see the following startup screen. The menu and tool bar across the top allows you to do many things, including SAVE and OPEN programs, get HELP, and RUN programs. The open space below the tool bar is where you write your program. Entering a program is not all that different from using a word processor. We can create a simulated robot on the screen by “locating” it at some starting point. Since the output screen is 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels tall (slightly smaller on many NetBook computers) we can create the robot near the middle of the screen with the following command. rLocate 400,300 All robot related commands in RobotBASIC start with an ‘r’. Commands are NOT case- sensitive, so you do not need a capital ‘L’, but using it makes the command easier to read. Type the above line in the program area discussed above, and run the program using the menus, or by clicking on the green triangle in the tool bar. When you do, the OUTPUT or TERMINAL window will pop up over the programming screen as shown below. As you can see, a tiny robot has appeared in the center of the output screen. It looks simple, but this robot has MANY sensors (such as infrared perimeter detectors, an electronic compass, laser distance measurement, etc) that can be used just like the sensors on a REAL robot. Let’s see how we can move this robot. Type in the following program. rLocate 400,300 rSpeed 10 rForward 100
