Turning Your Robot

This tutorial walks you through using the turn for block to turn your robot in VEXcode V5. By the end, you’ll have a project that turns your robot around.

  1. Make sure your robot is configured with a Drivetrain, so you see the Drivetrain blocks in the toolbox. See Configuring a Drivetrain if you haven’t added one yet.
