Robot Details

The V5RC Virtual Skills - Over Under Playground uses the standard VEX V5 Hero Bot, Striker.

The Striker VEX V5 Hero Bot measures approximately 350 millimeters long and 280 millimeters wide.

Motor Groups

Striker is equipped with two sets of Motor Groups for its Arm and Intake.

Configuration & Python Command Name	Description	API Documentation
Arm Motor arm_motor	The Arm can be raised and lowered. This allows the robot to do things like transport game objects. By default, the Arm starts at 0 degrees and Arm will be fully lowered when spun forward for 1200 degrees.	Blocks - Python
Intake Motor intake_motor	The Intake can be spun forward and in reverse. This allows the robot to collect and score game objects. The Intake will collect a Triball when spun forward 360 degrees and score or drop a Triball when spun in reverse for 360 degrees.	Blocks - Python

Sensors

Striker has access to the following sensors for autonomous coding:

Configuration	Description	API Documentation	Python Command Name
Brain Timer	The Robot has access to a built-in timer.	Blocks - Python	brain.timer
Drivetrain	The Robot has access to a Drivetrain with a built-in Inertial Sensor to track the Robot’s current heading and angle of rotation.	Blocks - Python	drivetrain
Optical	Reports if an object is close to the sensor, and if so, what color that object is.	Blocks - Python	optical
GPS	Reports the current X and Y position of the center of rotation of Striker in millimeters or inches. The GPS Sensor can also report the current heading in degrees.	Blocks - Python	gps

The GPS sensor relies on the Cartesian Coordinate system to navigate, with the middle of the field being (0, 0).
