robot c - program used to input the code, which is then put into the cortex
input - data that is collected from sensors connected to the "cortex" (or brain of the machine)
output - data that is sent to the motors and sensors.
Analog input - sensors whose values change continuously depending on the change in the environment or actions taken towards them
Digital input - sensors that are basically a on or off switch, when triggered it inputs a 1, when left alone it inputs a 0

this is my most favorite thing that we have done all year. i was looking forward to starting programming. Being able to build robots and then we get to program them. that is awesome. At first the programming was hard, but after a while of it, it got better. I dont know how to do all of it, but i know how to do the majority of it. i can program using while loops, if/else statements, and open/closed loops. i hope we get to do a lot of programming because it is fun. you just have to get the hang of it first.
