I heard about it and was just sort of curious. I heard robots are programmed in basic? Is there a robot you could buy and program? if so how could you hook it up and program it? anyone here ever program a robot? seems sort of interesting.

>>> I heard robots are programmed in basic?
I would imagine there are examples of robots that have been programmed in just about every language, (although COBOL would be an interesting/unusual choice).
Get a book like this:

If your interested about getting into robots maybe a good choice would be a HandyBoard. The reason why i suggest this is because it allows you to program in C or IC...
>I heard robots are programmed in basic?
Robots can be programmed in many languages, usually C and/or assembly is used.

When you buy a programmable robot, it will come with an interface which allows you to communicate with the robot using your PC. This can be a simple download box, which you can use to download your software into the robot. Or a complete debug interface with serial communications facilities which allow you to debug the robot using your PC.
>anyone here ever program a robot?
At university we programmed a simple robot using a kind of assembly which was specific for that robot.
