Introduction

In this Lesson you will learn about coding your robot to complete autonomous movements, and how to prepare for a successful autonomous challenge. Then, you will apply your learning by creating a VEXcode IQ project to stack and score two cubes in the scoring zones in the Coding for Cubes Challenge. Watch the animation below to see one way the Clawbot could move autonomously to complete the challenge. 

In the animation, a Clawbot starts at the far right wall of the Cube Collector Field with two cubes in front of it, one blue and one green.  At the top of the video, there is a stopwatch and a Brain icon. After a countdown, the timer starts and the Clawbot drives forward, pushing the green cube forward into the green scoring zone. It grasps the blue cube with its claw, picks it up, and stacks it on the blue cube in the blue scoring zone on the left. Once the cube is placed, the timer stops.
