The starting location and direction can be edited in the Pre-Match Checklist, by selecting the Edit button for each option.

Select A, B, C, or D to choose the starting location. You will see the position of the robot on the Field layout change when the location is changed.

Select North, East, or South to choose the starting direction. You will see the position of the robot on the Field layout change when the direction is changed.

Select Begin Run to set your selections and begin your run.

You can edit the starting position at any time by selecting the Starting Position button.

Select the Start button to start a project.

This button will change to a Stop button when a project is actively running.

Selecting the Stop button will stop the project and the timer immediately.

The Score Window will appear at this time. See below for more information on the Score Window.

Your score can be seen above the Field on the left side. This will be updated in real-time after the project is started.

The timer is located above the Field on the right side.

The timer begins when a project is started and counts down from 1:00. The timer will count down until Stop is selected, the Stop project block is used in the project, or the timer reaches 0 seconds.

The virtual Hero Bot, Axel, is equipped with an AI Vision Sensor. To view the Snapshot Window and see the data the AI Vision Sensor is reporting, select the AI Vision Sensor button.
