Programing DOBOT in Python and the international exchange

¡Hola! I have spent this week in Spain on an international exchange with a high school in Madrid, so I didn't have much time for writing my CAS Blog. However, it was an unforgettable experience and a fantastic way to practice both my Spanish and English. I had many occasions to compare Polish and Spanish and it made me more aware of the things that make my language a very difficult one to learn and pronounce. I needed creativity to communicate, because I didn't always know the word for something I wanted to talk about, especially when speaking in Spanish, and people I talked to didn't always know English well.

I met a lot of new people and had a chance to get to know and understand Spanish life better. This exchange gave me also the ability to see Madrid, Toledo and try Spanish food. I spent this week with a movie-loving family and we talked a lot about Spanish and Polish productions and directors, so it was also
a good lesson of the theory of movies.

Three days before leaving Poland I had my Physics Club and made a big progress in learning how to program DOBOT in Python. It's a quite new programming language gaining enormous popularity in the recent years. Many IT specialists expect it to be the computer language of the future and that is why I chose it as my main one when I was beginning my experience with programming.

Python became also a language of communication between me and the DOBOT Magician on that Wednesday afternoon. I taught the robot how to turn rotary switches located in a row. It wasn't a very complex program, but I first needed to learn commands necessary to control the DOBOT. This experience helped me develop my Python skills, which may be very useful in my future projects. In my opinion, using code for teaching the robot new things might be very useful, because this method operates on numbers, which can be easily measured, making the whole process much more precise.
