Previously in this Lab, you have created a 2D list with variables and blocks from the ‘Arm’ category to move the arm mounted on the Workcell to different points. In this challenge, you will use those same skills to instruct the arm mounted on the Workcell to draw ‘VEX’ on the whiteboard.

Lab 6 - VEX_1

Follow these steps to complete the challenge: 

  • Draw the outline for the word ‘VEX’ from the points in the above image onto your whiteboard using one color of dry-erase marker.
    • Be sure to provide space between each letter. No letters should share the same coordinate point.
    • Draw the same outline of points in your engineering notebook.
  • In your engineering notebook, label each coordinate point needed for the project to determine the height of your 2D list in VEXcode V5.
  • Using the ‘Manual Movement’ example project in VEXcode V5, record the coordinates of all coordinate points in your engineering notebook.
    • Be sure to enter your mastering values that were recorded in the Seek section of this Lab.
  • Build a project in VEXcode V5 to instruct the arm of the Workcell to draw ‘VEX’ on the whiteboard.
    • Follow the steps in Play for instructions on how to create a 2D list.
    • Make sure the [Manual movement] block is removed from the project.
  • Using another color of dry-erase marker, run the project.
