What is a Robot? What is a Program?

How is a robot different from a toaster? Well a robot is a device that is built for performing actions and interact with its surroundings something a toaster cant do a robot can also examine its surroundings and respond to objects such as tables, doors ...etc. What is a Program? A program is a set of instruction given to my robot. Program structures are extremely important because if the robots are not given specific or strict instructions they wont perform and wont know what to do. To write the program we need to

  1. write Pseudo code - (fake program)
  2. transfer it to the NXT

    good. A robot can take in information about the outside world while a toaster cant. This is true, robots are kind of dumb, they do exactly what you tell them to do and nothing more, or nothing less. if you dont tell them to stop, they wont. What did you think of the whole pseudo code idea?
