    This process  repeats  36 times  with the robot  making  small adjustments  (moving forward
                         by 60 mm and turning right by 10 degrees) to create a circular path.

                             CONTROL BLOCKS

                      Control blocks are used to determine when, how and how many times the robot should perform
                      an action. They help the robot make decisions, repeat actions and pause at the right moments.

                      Some of the important control blocks are as follows:

                               Block                                          Description

                       repeat block             It runs the enclosed code a set number of times.

                         repeat  10

                       while block              It keeps looping while the given condition stays true.

                         while

                       forever block            It repeats the block of code endlessly until you stop the program.

                         forever

                       wait until block         It pauses everything until the condition becomes true, then resumes

                                                execution.
                         wait until

                       if-then block            It executes the code only when the specified condition is true.

                         if      then

                       if-then-else block       This block  checks  a condition.  If the  condition is  true,  it  runs one
                                                set  of instructions;  if the condition  is false, it  runs another  set  of
                        if      then
                                                instructions.

                        else
