Learn
Before you can compete in the Clawbot Collector Challenge, you first need to learn about coding the Drivetrain, [Spin for] blocks, 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 IQ.
[Spin for] blocks
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 for] block.
Path Planning
Path planning enables you to code your robot to solve a challenge or accomplish a task more effectively and efficiently.
