I've always thought robotics were cool, but never got around to being part of them. Do you program them in some programming language you know, or do you have to learn a new language for the robot? Do you even learn a high-level language, or do you program directly into it (highly unlikely, might be a stupid question).

     You program the robot in a combination of assembly and C. Though it is mostly C, the assembly plays a role in programming for sensors that watch really fast things (like gear teeth turning, sometimes hundres of times a second). But that's just in declaration. Anyway, yeah, it's cool.

:/ sorry?
