Understanding the V5RC Spin Up Field

The Field in the V5RC Spin Up Playground in VEXcode VR  has the same dimensions and setup as the Field for an in-person Skills Match in the 2022-2023 V5RC Spin Up Competition game. This information can be useful when creating projects in V5RC Spin Up for VEXcode VR.

The total Field measurements begin and end at the inner edge of the Field perimeter.


Field Coordinates

In V5RC Spin Up in VEXcode VR, the virtual Hero Bot Disco is equipped with a GPS Sensor that reports its location and angle. The GPS Sensor reports the (X, Y) coordinates of the center of rotation of the robot on the Field, in millimeters or inches. This can be used to code Disco to drive to specific locations, and navigate the V5RC Spin Up Field in VEXcode VR using sensor feedback instead of set distances.

The Field in V5RC Spin Up in VEXcode VR ranges from approximately -1800mm to 1800mm for the X and Y positions.

The center location, or the origin (0,0), is located in the center of the Field.
