By now, you should know how to create robots with the Robot Editor. If not, you should follow the My First Robot Tutorial first. You will also want to look at some tutorials as well.

Eventually, though, you'll want to learn by examining code written by others. Some authors graciously include the source to their robots, and you can examine these robots using the Extract downloaded robot for editing tool, in the Robot Editor:
