    4 When you can't build, program, and battle real robots, the next best things are virtual battle bots.  This training makes extensive use of a virtual battle-bot simulator/environment developed by IBM called [https://robocode.sourceforge.io/ RoboCode].  The robots are programmed in a popular language called Java which is also used in real-world FRC robotics.  This training will introduce you to Java and then help you build your skills by programming virtual robots and battling them in the !RoboCode arena.  Once you know some basic Java, you can grow your robo mojo by programming simple robots and battling them against automated trainer bots.  As your skills advance you can battle against your teammates' bots or even enter international competitions.
