Much of the Fanuc is TP programming, Karel is the higher level language for doing more esoteric stuff. Most of the time you get by without Karel. TP programming is very basic, some say more user friendly. I consider it "dumbed down". Often times I see a lot of labels and jumping around, makes for "spaghetti" programs. It seems that Fanuc love to sell a less expensive robot, but nickel and dime you with options like Ascii option.
Thanks Lemster,
Its just that I need to program the Robot to work on multiple parts aka multipe recipes.
I can see that taking along time now using the teach pendant 
Our customer requested this spcific robot...now I know why.. Cheaper for them more expensive for us to develop. 
I was previously presuming 
in 2019 all robot manufacturer's would have something like robot studio to make the software easy to develop.
The KAREL option might be a worthwhile investment for you. It'll likely feel very familiar as both RAPID and KAREL are based on PASCAL.
Fanuc has roboguide, wich is basically the same as robotstudio. 1 month trial available
