Overview

Benefits of using ROBOTC

• Uses the industry standard C-programming language. Additional language extensions specifically for robotic use.
• Modern Windows GUI with standard visual interface.
• The only solution with fully integrated software debugger allowing users to step line by line through program execution and analysis of all variables.
• Additional debugging tools allow the user to see the real time states of all motors and sensor. These are viewed as your program is running; not as a separate application!
• Single solution works for both VEX Cortex and VEX PIC. No need to purchase two different applications.
• Over 100 Sample Programs with extensive documentation so students and hobbyists can get started learning how
  to program
• Advanced source code editor with smart indenting, automatic code competition and a tabbed interface to allow multiple program to be open at the same time
• Free webinars, video tutorials, community forums, detailed help files, and curriculum provided by Carnegie Mellon’s
  Robotics Academy.
• ROBOTC skills easily transitions into use of professional tools used by engineers. Not a dead end skill for VEX only!
• ROBOTC has the same form and feel, often even the same command names, as professional tools used on other systems.
