Using Examples

This tutorial walks you through opening and using example projects in VEXcode CTE. By the end, you’ll have an example project open and ready to explore.

Example projects are a great resource to explore different 6-Axis Arm behaviors or how different blocks in VEXcode are used.

  1. Select File in the top-left of VEXcode, then select Open Examples.

Opening the Examples page will open a new project, so be sure to save any unsaved work in your current project first. If your project hasn’t been saved yet, select Save to save it before continuing.

  1. The project will open in VEXcode with code demonstrating the example already in the workspace. A note in the workspace will explain what the project does and what configuration to use with it.
