Note from Patrick:
1) Here is another robot-themed game that provides a VERY good and basic introduction to some basic programming concepts.  
Students will be using loops extensively, so this gives a good visual guide to the basics.

2) In a few weeks we will begin our work with Robotics. To give coding a try, have a look at this:  https://david-peter.de/parachuting-robots/
Remember - don't think 'I can't do this!!!!!' think, 'I need to try again!' or 'I don't get it yet!'
Patrick suggested that You can try Manufactoria too - http://pleasingfungus.com/Manufactoria/
