Programming

Programming allows users to customize their VEX robot's functionality beyond basic operation. Custom programs are required to integrate sensor interaction or autonomous control. There are several programming options available to modify the microcontroller's program and support autonomous functionality. Users can visit the VEX website to learn more about programming options and download necessary files to program their VEX robot for both operator and autonomous modes of competition.

Programming Your VEX Robot


To utilize the VEX Robotics Design system without Autonomous
Programming or robot sensors, there is no extra software required.
The system works fine “out of the box” for general robot operation.
Minor changes to robot functionality (e.g. joystick scaling, motor
reversals) can still be made via the transmitter menus or by placing
jumpers in certain digital I/O ports. For more information please
see the Control section of the Inventors Guide, as well as Appendices
D & E.

To use the system with sensor interaction or custom control, custom


programs are required. Furthermore, when programming a VEX
Robot for autonomous competition, extra software files are required
to ensure the proper transition between “autonomous mode” and
“operator control mode” during each match.

There are several options available for programming the VEX


Robotics Design System. These options give you the ability to
modify the program contained inside the VEX Microcontroller.
This allows you to configure your robot to behave in any situation
it might encounter. In addition, these options support Autonomous
Programming.

To learn more about the various programming options and to


download the necessary software files, please visit the programming
section of www.VEXrobotics.com.
