Competition Code

Formatting Code for the Vex Robotics Competition

A template with the function callbacks for autonomous and usercontrol mode is required to perform in a vex competition. rolling robots template can be downloaded from gitHub here: Rolling Robots Example Code. The folder CompetitionCode is a blank competition project. Download this as a start for your code, you should rename it to something specific to you and do not return it to the gitHub. Use your own gitHub once you have made any edits.

Competition Template

Here is the code that is in main.cpp you can open a new project and copy paste this code to start:
