The 4H-Robotics Glossary says:
"Program: 
a set of instructions for a particular task, written in a language , or source code, that the computer can read
...
Source code: 
programming language used in a computer program, such as C, C++, Pascal, python, etc."
Source: www.4-h.org/Robotics/Resources/Documents/RoboticsGlossary.dwn

Obviously it is enough that a computer can read this language.
Forth programs can be read by computers and by humans.

The Robotics Platforms says:
"The modules in this track can be used with a variety of commercial kits, including NXT, TETRIX, CEENBoT, and Vex."

That means - a Forth kit is missing!
