What is Virtual Skills Competition?
|
VEX Virtual Skills Competion comes as a part of VEX Block Coding. This application helps studnets undested the basics of coding in VEX. It is a great to have fun as well as that it is a great way for planning, strategizing, and coding your robot. It is a great of experiencing the fun and excitement of Skills Challenges, while learning computer science with VEXcode VR. |
My Idea
Final Score |
I made my code the first time by going for the neutral and bringing it to my side. Next, I climbed onto the ramp by pushing the blue alliance goal along as well. However, this resulted in 71 points, which is good but not spectacular. But after some brainstorming, I came up with another idea that why shouldn’t I bring a red goal into my area. Then I got to work, the first thing this code does is make the robot go to the red goal and bring it back to the scoring zone. Next, the robot moves 36 inches (3 tiles), then turns 90 degrees to the left. After that, the robot moves forward for another tile, then turns right 90 degrees, then moves forward for another tile, then turns right 90 degrees straight towards the neutral goal, picks up and carries the goal. Then the inverse of all the earlier movements to bring it back to my scoring zone, once in its staring position it turns 90 degrees right and moves forward 56 inches at 20% velocity. The robot pushes the blue onto the ramp. In the end, I have a red goal on my side and a blue goal, a robot with a neutral goal balance on the ramp. Hence, yielding 91 points. This was one of the highest point totals in my class with others being 101, 110.

The Code
My Review
In my opinion, This is a great way to introduce the idea of coding to not just the Grade 9's but also students who have never coded before. It is a great of experiencing the fun and excitement of Skills Challenges, while learning computer science with VEXcode VR. Although the physics involved in this program may be false at times. However, It gives a pretty reasonable idea of how VEX V5 Block Code works. Even If one knows how to code, It still is a great way to plan, strategize not just autonomous but also game strategy. It is a great way to plan for skills round in advances. I would love to try this in class again, It was a fun activity. I had scored one of the highest scores in my class. As someone who is not the best at coding, It was great to motivate me as a coder. If I had to recommend this program, I would recommend it as not only one can learn some stuff about VEX V5 Block Coding but also strategize their autonomous, driver-controlled period and skills round.
