VARIABLE BLOCKS

Variable blocks are used to store values and keep track of things like counts, scores or distances.
They can be created and used in projects to control how the robot behaves based on changing values.
These blocks are found under the Logic - Variables section in the Logic block category.
The Make a Variable button allows the creation of a new variable, which acts like a container that
stores a value (such as a number or text) and can change during the program.

Some of the important distance variables blocks are as follows:
Block Description
custom variable block This block refers to a custom variable that you create in

your project.
myVariable
set myVariable to block This block assigns a value to the variable.

set myVariable to 1

change myVariable by block This block increases (or decreases if you use a negative
number) the value of the variable by a specified amount.
change myVariable by 1

USING THE DRAWING BLOCKS IN VEXCODE VR

Drawing blocks in VEXcode VR allow drawing paths on the playground by controlling the robot’s
movement. It is a fun way to visually represent the robot’s journey as it moves along a path.

Some of the important distance drawing blocks are as follows:
Block Description

move pen block This block is used to control the position of the pen, typically in relation
to the robot’s movement. The Pen is either up (not drawing) or down
move pen down
(drawing).
