Using the V5RC Spin Up Playground Window

When the Playground Window opens, you will then be prompted to select a starting configuration for the robot.

See more information about selecting a starting configuration in this article.

To reopen or change the starting configuration, select the location icon.

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.

Select the “Reset” button to reset the timer, point value, and Field.

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.

Match Loads are available to place on the Field during a match. See this article about Using Match Loads in V5RC Virtual Skills for more information.

The Score Window appears when the timer reaches 0, or if the project is stopped.

The Score Window shows your team's name, number, total score, and Skills Stop Time.

Note: you cannot submit scores in a previous V5RC game's Playground.

Select the “Retry” button to return to the Field and reset the timer and score.

Select the “X” in the top-left corner to close the Score Window and return to the Field.

This will not reset the Field, timer, or score. It will return to the Field exactly as it was at the moment the project was stopped.

The window begins at a smaller size by default. If you want to expand the window, select the “Expand” button at the top left corner.

Select “Shrink” in the top-left corner to return the window to the default size.

Select the “Hide” button to collapse the V5RC Virtual Skills Window. This will still keep the red toolbar at the top of the window visible.

To view the full window again, select the “Show” button.

Select the “Top Camera” button to see an overhead view of the entire Field. This is the default view when you open the V5RC Virtual Skills Window.

Select the “Chase Camera” button to see a behind-the-robot view.

Select the “Orbit Camera” button to see an overview of Moby and the full Field.

Select the gear icon to open the Settings window.

Data about your device will be displayed in the Settings window. This can be used to help troubleshoot any performance issues.
