Learn
Before you can compete in the Collector Challenge, you first need to learn about coding the Drivetrain, coding individual motors on an EXP robot, and path planning.
Coding the Drivetrain
To accurately code a robot to drive specific distances, you will need to learn about the [Drive for] and [Turn for] blocks in VEXcode EXP.
Watch this video to learn about using the [Drive for] and [Turn for] blocks in VEXcode EXP.

Coding Individual Motors
In order to code a robot's claw to open and close, or code a robot's arm to raise and lower, you need to learn how to use the [Spin] and [Spin for] block in VEXcode EXP.
Path Planning
Path planning enables you to code your robot to solve a challenge or accomplish a task more effectively and efficiently.
