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 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
