                  Flowcharts simplify  complex  logic  and are useful for planning before  actual  coding.  They help in debugging  and
                  collaborative discussions between students and teachers.

                  Algorithm Design in Robotics
                  Algorithm design in robotics typically follows three major stages:
                  1.   Problem  identification:  Define what the  robot  must  accomplish.  Example:  “The robot  must  follow a black  line
                      on a white surface.”

                  2.  Logical structuring: Break the problem into small, clear steps (sense   decide   act).
                  3.  Optimization and  testing:  Check  for efficiency.  A  good  algorithm  uses  fewer steps  and  ensures  accuracy
                      and stability.
                  Designing  an algorithm  trains students  in computational  thinking  — breaking  problems  into  manageable  parts  and
                  designing logical solutions.
