Helpful Hints

  • Each full tile on the VIQC Virtual Skills Field is 300mm by 300mm.
  • Use the spin ArmMotor block from the Motion category and select the forward direction to raise the Arm.
    VEXcode Spin for block that reads 'spin ArmMotor forward for 90 degrees'.

    • Matching Python command:

      arm_motor.spin_for(FORWARD, 90, DEGREES)
  • Use the spin ArmMotor block from the Motion category and select the reverse direction to lower the Arm.
    VEXcode Spin for block that reads 'spin ArmMotor reverse for 90 degrees'.
