The V5 26-27 Override Playground lets you try to get the most points in the Autonomous Coding Skills challenge for the season.

Field Overview#

The Playground has four different starting locations that can be set using the Playground’s Pre-Match checklist.

A YellowPin game element from the V5 26-27 Override Playground. A Cup game element from the V5 26-27 Override Playground.

The field also uses the GPS Field Code to make use of the robot’s GPS Sensor. Go to GPS Coordinates for the coordinates of important places or objects on the field.

Robot Overview#

The V5 26-27 Override Playground uses the VEX V5 Hero Bot, Flex.

GPS Coordinates#

The GPS (Game Positioning System) Sensor provides (X, Y) coordinates and heading for navigation in the V5 26-27 Override Playground, using the GPS Field Code to determine position.

The GPS Sensor measures from the exact center of the robot, with the center of the field defined as (0, 0).

(X, Y) Coordinates of Game Elements#

The following images show a top-down view of the field with the GPS coordinates for important game elements.
