INTRO : ROBOTC 2.0 is a programming language for robots. It comes from Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Academy. It comes with a suite of training tools which are easy enough for elementary robots to use, but poerful enough for college-level engineering courses.
ROBOTC 2.0 is an implementation of industry-standard C programming language. It includes a new GUI modeled after Microsoft's Visual Studio programming environment. It also has an interactive real-time debugger that operates with either a wired or wireless connection to a PC.

ROBOTC 2.0 is an implementation of industry-standard C programming language. It includes a new GUI modeled after Microsoft's Visual Studio programming environment. It also has an interactive real-time debugger that operates with either a wired or wireless connection to a PC.
ROBOTC supports popular robot platforms used in schools and in student competitions such as FIRST. It is the only programming language that works for the LEGO Mindstorms RCX and NXT systems as well as the Innovation First VEX and Cortex systems. It is being developed to support additional platforms. Programs written in ROBOTC for one robotic system can be easily adapted to another supported platform.
ROBOTC 2.0 was developed under Tim Friez[Robotics Institute software engineer] and Dick Swan[ROBOTC inventor and a software engineer and a long-time contractor to the Robotics Academy].
ROBOTC2.0 is an integrated development environment (IDE) that consists of a compiler, text and project editor and run-time environment. Its debugger supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi links and gives the user complete access from the PC into the operation and step-by-step execution of the programs. ROBOTC2.0 executes instructions extremely fast; on LEGO NXT, its execution speeds are five to 50 times faster than those of other programming solutions, including LEGO’s proprietary environment. It includes support for a wide variety of sensors as well as support for WAV and MIDI sound file playback.
