Competition#

Introduction #

The Competition class is used with the Field Control System during VEX Robotics Competitions using the V5 system. For more information about the Competition Template that uses the information on this page and how it applies to competition, read the Using the Python Competition Template in VEXcode V5.

Below is a list of available methods:

Constructor

Competition – Creates the Competition Control.

Getters

is_enabled – Checks if the competition is enabled or disabled.
is_driver_control – Checks if the competition is in driver control mode.
is_autonomous – Checks if the competition is in autonomous mode.
is_competition_switch – Checks if the competition switch is connected.
is_field_control – Checks if the Field Control System is connected.

Constructor #

Competition #

Competition creates the Competition Control. In VEXcode V5, the default function name for driver control is driver_control and for autonomous is autonomous.

Usage:

Competition(driver_control, autonomous)

Parameter	Description
`driver_control`	A previously defined function called as a thread when the driver control period starts.
`autonomous`	A previously defined function called as a thread when the autonomous control period starts.

# Define a function "driver_control".
def driver_control()
    brain.screen.print("Driver called")

# Define a function "autonomous".
def autonomous()
    brain.screen.print("Autonomous called")

# Construct a Competition Control object "competition"
# with the Competition class.
competition = Competition(driver_control, autonomous)
