No, use robo scratch for learning to program and creating linear execution blocks.

If you want to create a loop, use ezscript and type....

Code:

:start

# move servo to position 50 degrees 
Servo(d2, 50)

# wait some time for servo to move
Sleep(2000)

# move servo to position 100 degrees
Servo(d2, 100)

# wait some time for servo to move 
Sleep(2000)

# go to the loop start marker
Goto(start)

Or if you're creating animations for looping, use the Auto Position control. That makes the most sense of you are animating stuff. More here: http://www.ez-robot.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx?id=180

Are there any plans to implement more of Scratch 2.0 functionality (i.e. loops, conditional statements, etc.) in RoboScratch in the near future?
My kid is somewhat proficient in Scratch, but text-based programming is beyond his grasp so far. And it's difficult to teach him robot programming without basic constructs.
IMHO having some flavor of Scratch (similar to mBlock, maybe) working with EZ robots would certainly expand their application in STEM.
