Extract text from RBG files
To convert your RBG file to another format, you need ROBOTC or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Robotics Source Code" file type, you need software like ROBOTC or a similar tool.
An .rbg file is a graphical source code project created by ROBOTC, a specialized Integrated Development Environment (IDE) formerly developed by Robomatter Inc. for programming VEX Cortex, VEX IQ, and LEGO MINDSTORMS robots. Unlike standard text-based code, these files store the logic of "drag-and-drop" block programming in a proprietary format. While excellent for educational environments like Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy, the format poses significant long-term access challenges.
Because .rbg files rely on the specific Graphical Natural Language library within the legacy ROBOTC interface, they cannot be opened or executed by modern platforms like VEXcode or standard text editors. Users frequently find themselves locked out of their robotic logic when upgrading hardware or operating systems. To preserve your work or transition to advanced text-based coding, the best solution is converting the .rbg file to a standard C source file. This extracts the underlying C syntax, making the code editable in any IDE. For archiving or grading purposes without installing the legacy software, converting to PDF provides a visual snapshot of the block logic.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RBG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted X265-RBG, VRBLOCKS, 8XP and SAS files.
If you want to convert RBG file to JPG, PDF, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, TIF, WEBP, ICO, CUR, PSD or PSB, you can use ROBOTC or similar software from the "Robotics Graphical Programming" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RAW, PNG, AI, NEF, PSB, DNG, SVG, GIF, EPS, JPG, ARW or PDF files to RBG, try ROBOTC or another comparable tool in the "Robotics Graphical Programming" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our RBG converter.
