I'm am new to LOGO having started a robotics program at our school. We were
using NQC but it is limited in that you cannot give feedback to the controller
the same way you can with the new Microworlds EX. We have been working with
Seymour Papert, who happens to live in our town, to develop a new math program.
It was seymour who suggested LOGO as we could not get the robots to do some of
the things that would be rich mathematics, such as having a robot navigate by
dead reckonig or use triangulation. LOGO gives you the power of the computer to
do the compilations nessary to do these task.
The reason I have come to the group is that Sean at Microworlds told me about
you and suggested that you could help me with some of our issues.
Right now I'm trying to understand how to use arrays in LOGO. I would like to
create a list and then populate it. I know about list and setitem but
Microworlds does not seem to recognize array. any suggestions?
