Courses
Start with the robot in front of you.
Learn the setup, code, and checks that make a VEX V5 drivetrain predictable before you ask it to do more.

Check the fit
Check that this course fits your robot
The supported path requires a VEX V5 robot with exactly four tank-drive motors, two per side, all using the same cartridge, and a mounted V5 Inertial Sensor. It finishes with a measured first drivetrain auton, not a scoring-mechanism routine.
