Robotics Programming Fall 2020
Robotics Programming Students,
We will be using VEXCode Virtual World (use link below) to model programming a robot. VEXCode VR supports drag-and-drop coding as well as Python programming. We will start using drag-and-drop then will transition to text based as the semester continues.
It is a drag-and-drop programming language and will be a little easier to get started than RobotC. This program runs from the Web Browser and there is no need to install any software. In a couple of weeks I will introduce another option for those that are interested. It is a bit more complex than RobotC and does not have as many Virtual Worlds, but it does allow the user to build their own robot and the programs will work with the new V5 Robot brains

Time to get started in VEXCode VR.
1) Use the 'Link to VEXCode VR' link above to get to the VEXCode Virtual World.
2) Click and watch the Tutorial Video to get an Overview of VEXCodeVR
3) Then complete the Basketball Drills and Coordinate Numbers activities. The buttons below are links to the descriptions of the two activities. For those high fliers, there are extensions for each of the activities.
Note: You only need to put in 1.5 hours per week for this class.
4) Try turning in the assignments through Canvas. If that does not work, email your program as an attachment to [email protected].
