Annotation

The article presents an algorithmic approach to the decomposition of the motor control system in educational robotics kits. The structuring of blocks based on parameters — basic, input, and output — is examined. Combining these parameters allows for the formation of elementary modules to integrate the resulting flowcharts into the process of learning the programming of a selected educational robotics platform. A theoretical analysis is conducted, usage examples are demonstrated, and a sample lesson for schoolteachers is provided.
