How to use the Programming With Pictures robot skill
Using the camera, this skill will allow you to add programming commands by holding up pieces of paper with images printed on them. The concept is to allow programming instructions using visual representations. Each card has an image that represents a specific command, such as move forward, turn right, turn left, or reverse. Using cue cards, the robot can be programmed for specific movements to navigate a maze, for example. The order in which the cards are shown to the robot are stored in memory and determines the path the robot will take. When you're ready to run the program, show the robot the Start card and the program will begin!
*Note: This skill is in experimental stage and is released as proof of concept only. There will be future enhancements to the skill in the future.

How To Use Programming with Pictures
Print the images below on full sheets of paper
Add a Camera Device skill to your ARC project (Project -> Add Skill -> Camera -> Camera Device).
Connect to the robot AND to the camera of your robot.
Add a Programming with Pictures skill to your ARC project (Project -> Add skill -> Camera -> Programming with Pictures).
Press the ATTACH button on the Programming with Pictures skill. This will attach this skill to the camera device skill. You will now see a mirror of the camera's video stream in this skill.
Show an DIRECTION (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT) or PAUSE image to the camera and the commands will be added to the program list.
Show the START image to the camera and the program will run.
Images to Print for Programming
Direction Image - hold the image in any direction you wish the robot to move (Ex: Arrow pointed up to move forward)
