A VEXcode V5 project for use with VEX Robotics Competition (VRC) Virtual Skills can be loaded and saved in a few ways.
Load an Existing Project
Load an existing project by selecting “Load From Your Device” from the File menu.
Use the Windows interface to navigate and load your existing project with a .v5blocksskills or .v5pythonskills file extension.
Rename a Project
To rename a project, select the project name box.
Enter the project name, and select “Rename.”
Save Using the File Menu
Open the File menu and select “Save To Your Device.”
The file will be downloaded. Select and open “File Explorer.”
Inside "File Explorer," you can see your Downloads folder. Select the Downloads folder to open it.
In the Downloads folder, you'll see a file with a .v5blocksskills or .v5pythonskills extension. This means your project has been successfully saved.
Common Issue when Loading/Saving
A common issue when using VEXcode V5 project files (.v5blocksskills or .v5pythonskills) is trying to select the .v5blocksskills or .v5pythonskills file to be opened directly by the operating system.
If you try to open a VEXcode V5 project file by double clicking it, nothing will open.
All VEXcode V5 project files can ONLY be opened within the web-based version of VEXcode V5. See the ‘Load an Existing Project’ section from this article for more information.
