VEXcode VR
Code a virtual robot to drive through mazes, draw shapes and take on challenges.
VEXcode VR puts a simulated robot in a virtual playground for children to program. The activity library includes maze navigation, drawing initials with a pen, tracing routes, and harder challenges that use sensors or stored information. Activities are sorted by level, from basic movement up to maze solvers.
