Manipulating VEXcode's virtual robot 🤖

vexcode

A set of functions for manipulating VEXcode's virtual robot 🤖.

Additionally, a few VEXcode scripts - found within the scripts directory - are in this repo.

This project started during the summer of 2022, made possible by and done in conjunction with the wonderful students at Mariam Boyd Elementary School. For students or staff interested in learning more, please visit go.ncsu.edu/vexcode (this webpage is also located within this repo here).

Quickstart

To run the Python code found within the src directory, do the following:

1. Install Python 3.10; varies from system to system, but if you're on macOS, you can run brew install python@3.10, though this of course requires homebrew.
2. Install poetry, a Python package manager.
3. Run poetry install to install the required dependencies.
4. Done!

generate_points.py

This file is responsible for generating a traceable path for the VEX robot given an arbitrary image. This works best with comparatively simple images, usually with very clearly defined subject matter, i.e., one main subject in frame.
