Abstract
The aim of the contribution is to present an attempt to teaching programming with robots. Two problems ad methods of their solutions are presented, namely the so called mark identification and following problem and the related method of its solution, and the alleged line following problem, and the corresponding method. The methods for solving the mentioned problems have been implemented on the robotic plat-form Koala. In the paper some comparisons of the two implementations by two groups of students are presented. The two versions are described, and the pros and cons are mentioned for both of two implementations.
