Simulation

The simulation section of FTC VRS programming is a virtual environment where you test your robot's code without needing physical hardware. It allows you to visualize your robot's movements and interactions with the game field, test different programming strategies, and identify and fix errors in your code.

Preload Prop

Enabling this will cause the robot to start the match with the preloaded game object.

Enables sensors

Select Mode

You can select one of four different modes: Autonomous, Tele-Op, Full Game, and Free Play.

Autonomous: the first 30 seconds of any FTC match. Here robots will move autonomously to complete tasks and score points.

Tele-Op: The last 2 minutes and 30 seconds of the FTC match. During this period, the robot can be manually controlled. During the last 30 seconds, called endgame, additional tasks can be completed, scoring more points.

Full Game: Combines Autonomous with Tele-Op, running Autonomous first. After Autonomous has completed, there will be a 3 second transition period for the driver to assume control before Tele-Op begins.

Free Play: Freely play around and test your robot! Here there is no timer so you can take your time to test your robot.
