In this challenge, you will compete in a mini-competition! The goal of the competition is to sort as many ‘shipments’ as possible in a 5-minute round. A shipment is a collection of six disks: two red, two green, and two blue.
Follow these steps to complete the challenge:
- Ensure all team members understand the rules and scoring of the competition (Google / .docx / .pdf).
- Create a new project or open an existing project.
- Select ‘File’ then ‘Save As’ to rename the project ‘Lab 12 - Competition.’
- Using the skills developed in previous Labs, edit the project. Your VEXcode V5 project should accomplish the following:
- Use a {When timer} block and set the parameter to 300 seconds. Attach an [Activate emergency stop] block to the {When timer} block. This will stop the Workcell after a 5-minute round.
- Sort as many shipments as possible in 5 minutes.
- A shipment includes:
- Two green disks are to be placed on the left side of the delivery zone.
- Two red disks are to be placed on the right side of the delivery zone.
- Two blue disks are to be diverted off of the Workcell completely via the exit conveyor.
- Use a {When timer} block and set the parameter to 300 seconds. Attach an [Activate emergency stop] block to the {When timer} block. This will stop the Workcell after a 5-minute round.
