easyC
easyC is a VEX Robotics programming client released by Intelitek. Living by it's name, easyC simplifies code or line programming into block programming, making it perfect for beginner teams. We use easyC, and to us it's no longer such an easy client as we need to have additional and more advanced programming features to achieve our wishes, such as make a fifteen second autonomous for the start of the match, and a minute long autonomous for the Programming Skills Challenge.
Autonomous
Autonomous is when the robot goes on it's own with no driver, provided the programs we download into the robot. Every match has a fifteen second autonomous period. During this time, you want to attain a higher score than the other alliance so you can have a 10 point bonus totaled at the end of the match.
Driver Control
Driver control period takes place after the autonomous is over and determined. The drivers drive the robot from where autonomous ended. This goes on for a minute and forty-five seconds. Just like autonomous, you want to attain a higher score than the other alliance.
Skills Challenge
During the tournament, teams can take part in an optional challenge known as Skills Challenges. There are two different types of Skills Challenges, Robot and Programming. Robot Skills Challenge is a minute of just your robot on the field trying to score as much as possible. Programming Skills Challenge is basically the same as Robot Skills Challenge, only that it is pre-programmed and fully autonomous
Alliance Selection
The Alliance Selection process is always held near the end of a VEX Robotics Tournament. The top eight placed teams from results of the qualification rounds have a chance to select and make their own alliances to have a shot of winning the entire tournament. The process always begins with the first seed and they can invite any team below them to join them in their alliance. Their invitation can always be accepted or declined. Accepted means that the two teams form, moving down to the second seed alliance. Declined means that they invited team does not wish to join the selector. If you are in the top eight and decline, you are still an alliance captain, but you can't be picked by any team ahead of you. If you are not in the top eight and decline, then you withdraw from the tournament. Once the eight alliance have selected their team, the process begins again to try to have a backup team. Elimination rounds are best two out of three matches and all teams of the alliance have to at least play once each round.
Team Logo
We are very proud of our logo and the way it represents us. It was created and designed by team member Brady, and his dad.
