Using Match Loads in V5RC Tipping Point – VEX Library

While completing a Tipping Point match in VEXcode VR, you may utilize Match Load Rings in accordance with the guidelines set out in the V5RC Tipping Point Game Manual and Appendix B - Skills Challenge.

Location labels L1-4 will appear on the Field beneath any game elements. Each of these labels corresponds to one tile on the Field where a Match Load Ring may be placed.

To remove these labels, select the eye icon again.

Note: The starting position of Moby, the Hero Bot, determines where your Match Loads will appear during the game.

If Moby begins in position A or B, it is in the red Alliance Home Zone and all Match loads will be on the tiles along the West wall of the Field.

This is also indicated by the Match Load buttons appearing in red.
