This is the on-screen programming system. It's pretty rudimentary, but it lets
you build very simple programs with only your NXT (no computer needed). Slots 1
& 3 let you 'do' something, slots 2 & 4 essentially control how long that action
takes place, and the final slot lets you either loop the program, or just stop.
It's great for using at your LEGO building area to test out something quick.
Rather than run to the computer to write a program, just key in a couple of
quick commands to see if the general idea of how something should work is okay.
Then after your robot is built, you can program it 'properly'. I also assume the
younger robot builders will find it quite useful.
Hope that helps.
