The VEX Visual Studio Code Extension has replaced VEXcode Pro V5, which is now end-of-life.
VEXcode Blocks and VEXcode Text remain actively developed and supported for all VEX platforms.
This example program shows how to program the V5 Clawbot to turn left and right using VEXcode Pro Text.
How it works
This program used the turnFor(degrees, units)
instruction to turn the robot for a specified degree. Degrees can be specified by using a numeric value.
You can specify the units by using degrees
. A positive numeric value can be used to turn the robot to the left and a positive number value to move it to the right.
Steps executed in the program:
- The Drivetrain is set to turn 90 degrees to the left.
- The program will wait 1 second before executing the next line of code.
- The Drivetrain is set to turn the robot in the opposite direction which is 180 degrees to the right.
