Creating a New Blocks Project in VEXcode IQ

A new Blocks project opens any time you start VEXcode IQ. But, you can also open a new Blocks or Text project after VEXcode IQ has already started.

Note: when starting a new project, a prompt will appear asking you to save if the current project has not been saved yet.

If using a standard robot build, like the Clawbot, a Template can be used to quickly get started with a new project.

Note: Templates related to VEX IQ (2nd generation) builds will have a blue indicator on the top left of the template icon.
