Hi everyone,
I’m working with VEX AIM and trying to figure out how to get the robot to return to its original starting position after completing a task.
Ideally, I’d like to use the “set robot position to X, Y” block to establish a starting point (e.g., 0, 0), have the robot move around and complete an activity, then automatically navigate back to those original coordinates.
The reason is that I’m developing activities involving AprilTags, which the robot needs to be facing fairly directly to identify reliably. I’d like the robot to return to a consistent starting position and orientation before searching for the next AprilTag.
My questions are:
- Does the “set robot position” block simply assign coordinates to the robot’s current location, or can it be used for navigation?
- Is there a way to tell the robot to move back to specific X/Y coordinates using VEXcode AIM Blocks?
- What’s the simplest approach to returning to both a starting position and heading?
I’m using Blocks rather than Python for these activities, so ideally I’d like to keep the solution within that environment.
Thanks for any suggestions!
