Trivia Quiz: Programming In ROBOTC For Beginners!
(130).jpg "Trivia Quiz: Programming In ROBOTC For Beginners!")
Based on the standard C programming language, ROBOTC is a text-based programming language in which commands to the robot is written as text and processed by the compiler into a machine language. Then loaded onto the robot where they can be run. This quiz has been designed to test your knowledge and programming skills. Read the questions carefully and answer. All the best!
