Open Ended STEM Lab

Exploration: Code

1. Preparing to Code

Tutorials and Help can found at the top of the VEXcode IQ Blocks interface

Remember, you can always look to the tutorials for more information about blocks,

sequences, and troubleshooting. Use the Help section when you want to know about what a
specific block does or how to use it.

Using Blocks with Specificity
To move a specific distance, use the drive for block, and change the direction and
distance travelled by adjusting the parameters in the block.

To turn either right or left in any degree increment, use the turn for block. Again, you can
adjust the parameters to suit your design needs.

Open a New Project
The Programmer should start a new project with the Autopilot (Drivetrain) template, name,
and save it. Since we will be creating a path for a recycle robot, rename your project
“Recycle Run.”

For reminders on how to get started see the tutorials or refer to the example programs for
reference.
