ICRobot Block Guide
Motion
Robot (moves forward、moves backward、turns left、turns light) at ( ) % power
Controls the robot to move in the specified direction with the given power.
Example:
Robot (moves forward、moves backward、turns left、turns light) at ( ) % power ( ) Seconds
Controls the robot to move in the specified direction with a given power for a certain number of seconds. This is a blocking block.
Example:
Robot (moves forward、moves backward、turns left、turns light) at ( ) % power for ( ) cm
Controls the robot to move in the specified direction with a given power for a specified distance. This is a blocking block.
Example:
Robot (turns left、turns light) at ( ) % power for () degrees until done
Controls the robot to turn left or right with the specified power until the target angle is reached. This is a blocking block.
Example:
Robot’s left wheel rotates at ( ) % power, right wheel rotates at ( ) % power
Independently control the power of the left and right wheels.
Example:
Robot’s motor (left wheel / right wheel) with ( )% power for ( ) (Seconds / cm)
Controls a single wheel to move with the specified power for a given time or distance.
Example:
Robot’s motor (left wheel / right wheel) rotates at ( ) % power indefinitely
Continuously control a single wheel to move with the specified power.
Example:
Stop Movement
Stop the robot’s motion.
Display (Matrix LED)
Set display brightness to (1–10)
Set the display brightness of the robot’s dot-matrix screen, the value is 1-10, the larger the value the brighter it is.
Example:
(Static / Right to Left / Left to Right / Top to Bottom / Bottom to Top) Display () for () seconds
Setting the static or dynamic display of the set dots for a given length of time
Example:
(Static / Right to Left / Left to Right / Top to Bottom / Bottom to Top) Display ( )
Set static or dynamic display of a given dot matrix all the time
Example:
Display Text ()
Display a text string on the matrix; if the string exceeds the matrix width, it scrolls; otherwise, it displays statically.
Example:
Light up x() y()
Turn on the LED at coordinate (x, y); (0, 0) is bottom-left.
Example:
Only light up x() y()
Light up only the LED at (x, y), turning off all others.
Example:
Turn off x() y()
Turn off the LED at coordinate (x, y).
Example:
Toggle x() y()
Switch the LED at (x, y) between on and off.
Example:
Set tail light color（）
Change the tail light to a selected color.
Example:
Set tail light color to R() G() B()
Set RGB values for the tail light.
Example:
Turn off display
Turn off the matrix display.
Example:

Set volume to ()
Set playback volume (range: 0–10).
Play music () until finished
Play selected audio file; wait until it finishes before continuing the next action.
Example:
Play music ()
Play the selected audio file immediately.
Example:
Stop playback
Stop the current audio.
() Play local audio ()
Play an uploaded audio file in real-time.
Example:
Actuators
Robot’s gripper at port ( ) (open/close)
ontrol the gripper at the selected port.
Example:
Robot’s gripper at port ( ) (open/close) until done
Control the gripper and wait until action completes before next step.
Example:
Robot’s launcher at port ( ) shoots (number) ball
Launch specified number of marbles from selected port.
Example:
Robot’s launcher at port ( ) shoots ( ) ball until done
Launch and wait until finished before proceeding.
Example:
Sensors
Button (A/B) pressed
