In this introductory, hands-on workshop you will learn how to program a tabletop soccer football playing robot using MicroBlocks, a blocks language similar to Scratch.

You will learn how to retrieve the robot's position and orientation in real time using MicroBlocks, how to move the robot to a specified location, how to control the servo to pick up the soccer ball, and ultimately complete the tabletop football playing robot task.

Get ready to dance to the beat of the microcontroller! In this session you'll learn the basics of live music production with MicroBlocks and you'll be creating your own beats in no time.
