+# Getting Code on the Robot
+
+Getting your code on to the robot is quite simple.
+You will need to put your code on a USB drive
+Which will need to be formatted with either FAT32, exFAT, NTFS or ext2/3/4.
+Upon plugging in the drive or starting up, the robot will run the `robot.py` file found in the `robot.zip` in the root of the drive.
+
+## Windows
+
+1. Open your code in File Explorer
+2. Select all of your code files (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd><kbd>A</kbd> to select all files)
+3. Right-click the files
+4. Click Compress to Zip file
+5. Name the newly created file `robot` (or `robot.zip` if you have file extentions shown)

+
+If you are on Windows 10 or older, you will need to use Send to &rarr; Compressed (zipped) folder.
+
+## macOS
+
+1. Open your code in Finder
+2. Select all of your code files (<kbd>⌘</kbd><kbd>A</kbd> to select all files)
+3. Right-click (or Control-click) the files and click Compress
+4. Name the newly created file `robot.zip`

+
+To re-run your program, simply remove the USB stick and plug it back in again and it will restart automatically.
+
+## Robot Logs
+
+When your program runs on the robot, the output of `print(...)` calls and any
+errors which occur are written to a log file on the USB stick as `log.txt`.
