Let's get started!
It’s time to try programming your WonderBorg.
1. Open robots works, and click "CLICK TO START" on the
title screen. The Panel Screen will then appear.
2. Left-click the blue square in the top left corner of
the screen. The Sensor block Factory screen will
then appear.
3. This screen is used to specify the sensor settings.
On the list, select "Nothing Here", then click the
"OK" button.
4. Go back to the Panel Screen. The "Nothing Here" block
will be displayed on the panel. Drag this block and
drop it on top of the blue square that you clicked
earlier.
5. The next step is to specify
a command. Left-click the
pink triangle beside the
"Nothing Here" Block. The
Command Block Factory screen
will now appear. On the
list, select "Advance",
then left-click the
"OK" button.
6. Go back to the Panel Screen. The "Advance" block
will be displayed. Drag-and-drop this block to the
right side of the "Nothing Here" block, using the
same procedure as in step 4.
7. You have now created a program that says "When there is nothing there, the WonderBorg
must move forward".
8. Turn the WonderBorg’s POWER switch ON.
9. Position the Interface so that the
transmitter is facing the WonderBorg’s
infrared receiver (the WonderBorg should
be about 20cm away from the Interface).
When you do this, make sure there is
nothing in between the Interface and the
WonderBorg (see the illustration below).

10. Left-click "Dowload to Robot" at the top
of the Panel screen. Your program will
now be transmitted. The WonderBorg’s eyes
will flash, and when it emits a short
beep, the transmission is complete.
11. Press the WonderBorg’s START / STOP switch
once (causing the green LED to flash).
If the WonderBorg now moves continuously
forward, your program has been successfully
transmitted. Press the START / STOP button
again (the green Led will now go out) to
bring the WonderBorg to a halt.
