We LOVE summers here at ROBOTC, and one of the main reasons for that is we get to meet tons of awesome teachers, mentors, and coaches at our ROBOTC Professional Development training courses!

We are very excited to share details on ROBOTC 4.0!! This version of ROBOTC will be getting a lot of new features as well as some enhancements to favorite tools already included.

Every year at Worlds, we get to meet some amazingly talented students. This year was no different! One of those students was the lead programmer and captain for the all-girls VEX team 355E, Mia Garbaccio.

Every student who completes a ROBOTC Summer of Learning course will have the opportunity to take a ROBOTC Student Certification Exam! This certificate will represent a student’s programming and robot problem solving accomplishments.

Starting Monday, June 17th, our free online classes will begin for the Robotics Summer of Learning. The ROBOTC team will show you the best ways to get started using ROBOTC and answer your questions LIVE!

We have recently been made aware of a bug in the recently released ROBOTC version 3.61.

Back in April, we gave you a sneak peak of our Multiplayer RVW Project. We’ve been hard at work implementing that functionality into the VEX Toss Up game, as well as adding additional features and improvements to the system.

We are very happy to announce the official prizes for the Robotics Summer of Learning competitions!

We are happy to announce that ROBOTC 3.61 is now available! This is a maintenance release that added a few new features/fixes a few outstanding bugs.

Get ready to create all new levels in the Robot Virtual Worlds’ Level Builder! Sign up for Beacons and Barriers, the Robotics Summer of Learning level design competition.

Schuyler Horky caught our attention with his cool ROBOTC tutorial videos. He has been working on a 10 part ROBOTC for NXT video tutorial series for the past three months to help local students and teachers with programming. We got a chance to talk with Schuyler to find out more about his programming experience.

We continue the new section to our blog called Teacher’s POV (Point of View) with another post by Jason McKenna, a K-8 Gifted Support Teacher in the Hopewell Area School District outside of Pittsburgh, PA. He took the time to give some examples of how you can use Robot Virtual Worlds in your classroom.
