    [Arguments]    ${LIST}
    : FOR    ${LINE}    IN    @{LIST}

An alternative to the answer from @pankaj-mishra is the following. This removes the evaluate and uses Set Variable with simple arithmetics to increase the value. It is important to start with a numerical value. This is why the variable is created with ${0} to ensure that the 0 is indeed a number and not a string. 

*** Test Cases ***
test counter
    ${counter}    Set Variable     ${0}

    :FOR    ${item}    IN RANGE    10
    \    ${counter}    Set Variable    ${counter+1}
    \    Log    ${counter}
