Learning RobotC
RobotC can seem complicated at first. Most students realize that basic tasks are not as hard as they first thought. Still, even professional programmers don't remember everything and rely on research whenever they need help. A couple of the resources below are useful places to start your research.
RobotC Reference Guide - Made by a PLTW teacher for use by students
RobotC Sensor Guide - Made by a PLTW teacher for use by students
RobotC Natural Language Guide - Another reference to using various commands. Just find a command on the sheet to learn about it.
Official RobotC Wiki
Lots of different things to explore at this site made by Carnegie Mellon University:
VEX EDR Video Trainer - this collection of videos will train you on the basics of RobotC and VEX equipment
Reference Index - an AWESOME resource of materials for a range of equipment, tasks, and even programming challenges
And a collection of video tutorials to explore:
RobotC Various Help
Using the Debugger
Some tutorials from PLTW teacher Mr. Jopp.
Gears
Check out Gear Generator to mess around with some simulated gears and better understand gear ratios. If interested, check out some information on How Gears Work, or visit the Gears Index Page to see a wealth of information and practice work about gears. You can also try your hand at drawing gear systems by going to GearSketch.
Want to play some games about gears? Check out Connect It to play with making objects move using gears.
Equipment
Check out this list of Vex Parts to learn more about the equipment.
Troubleshooting
