Learning Target

Create a VEXcode blocks project
Complete a robotic task as quickly as possible

Instructions

Step 1:

Use this link to access the school's Premium License for VEXcode VR:

https://vr.vex.com?classcode=GZXJUX

Step 2:

Click the "Select Playground" button.

Choose the Castle Crasher playground.

Step 3:

Your goal is to "knock over" all of the castles in the shortest amount of time.

A castle is considered "knocked over" when the yellow roof is touching the ground or knocked out of the white zone.

Step 4:

Decide on an optimal path to follow before placing code blocks. You can change your mind later, but have a plan before you start.

Write the code needed to complete the task of knocking down all of the castles in the shortest time.

Step 5:

Once you are able to knock over the castles, be sure to take a screenshot each time you run your code.

- You need evidence of your fastest run time.
- Stop the simulation when the last castle is knocked over!

Not every attempt will be the same since the playground simulates some of the basic variables that exist in real world
physics.

Step 6:

You are encouraged to try different code configurations if you have time. See the grading criteria below.

Grading

If your robot knocks down...	Your grade will be...
Competition All of the castles Screenshot includes playground showing completion time majority of code blocks	Prizes for Fastest Times
Extended All of the castles Runs on the Dynamic Castle Crasher map Submit a video** showing 3 consecutive runs (each under 20 seconds) Note: EC can be submitted up to a week late with no penalty	A++
Exceptional All of the castles Finishes in under 20 seconds Screenshot includes playground showing completion time majority of code blocks	A
Good All of the castles Finishes in under 40 seconds Screenshot includes playground showing completion time majority of code blocks	B
Reasonable Most of the castles Screenshot includes playground showing completion time majority of code blocks	C
Needs Improvement At least half of the castles Screenshot is missing either the code blocks or playground, but not both	D
Insufficient Less than half of the castles Screenshot is missing either the code blocks or playground, but not both	F
Scores may be rounded to the nearest whole number.

** Video Recording
You can record a video of your screen using the Xbox Game Bar (Windows Key + G).
You can also start a recording directly by pressing Windows Key + Alt + R
