Repeat Blocks
The Repeat command allows a series of previously programmed
blocks to be repeated one time. Wherever it is used, the repeated
blocks will be processed, just as if they were written in the program at
that point. For more advanced features including repeating more than
once, use the Loop command as an alternative. The Loop command
requires the use of a sub-program, whereas the Repeat command
does not. Refer to Section 7.4 sub-programs for information on the
Loop command.
