Using the VIQRC Mix & Match Playground Window

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 while the project is running.

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.

The total score for the project will be shown along with the time remaining when the project was stopped.

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.

Select the Submit Score button to submit your Virtual Skills score to the VIQRC Mix & Match Virtual Skills leaderboard. (Score submissions coming soon.)

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 the Shrink button in the top-left corner to return the window to the default size.

Select the Hide button to collapse the Playground Window. This will still keep the blue 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 Playground Window.

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

To open the Navigation Kit, select the Navigation Kit button. For information about how to use the Navigation Kit, see this article.

When the project is running, the Load Buttons will become available. Select the Button matching the Pin color you want to load.

The Pin will appear in the Load Zone on the left side of the field.

You can see the current number of Pins available to load at any point during the match in the upper left of the Playground window.

Select the Info icon to open the Graphics and Performance Summary window.

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

Select the X in the upper left corner to close the window and return to the Playground.
