Introduction to programming using Go-Robo

Go-Robo is a modern programming environment which enables you to control the WowWee family of robots using the same Infra Red wave length used by the remote controls which are provided with each robot. Its like a 21st century version of logo but a lot more interesting and engaging for the children. We have noticed that girls in particular became highly engaged with the robots as they seemed to like their human like characteristics

How does the programming interface work?

Each robot has a unique set of commands - usually evoked by pressing a combination of keys on the remote control. Go-Robo gives you access to these commands in a programming language called GRID script. You can combine many simple procedures (so called sub routines) into more complex ones

The software can be used to control more than one robot at a time. Each different type of robot in the Robosapien family has its own set of instructions and GRIDsript allows you to control all of tem simultaneously
