Single Player

PreviousRobot ArenaNextActivities

Last updated 9 months ago

"Single Player" mode allows you to practice your robot programming skills against simulated opponents or challenges. This could be a helpful way to test your code and improve your robot's performance before competing against other teams.

Preload Prop

Enabling this will cause the robot to start the match with the preloaded game object.

Use Tile 2

Will cause the robot to start in the alternative, lower starting spot.

Vision

Enables sensors

Select Mode

You can select one of four different modes: Autonomous, Tele-Op, Full Game, and Free Play.

Autonomous: the first 30 seconds of any FTC match. Here robots will move autonomously to complete tasks and score points.

Tele-Op: The last 2 minutes and 30 seconds of the FTC match. During this period, the robot can be manually controlled. During the last 30 seconds, called endgame, additional tasks can be completed, scoring more points.

Full Game: Combines Autonomous with Tele-Op, running Autonomous first. After Autonomous has completed, there will be a 3 second transition period for the driver to assume control before Tele-Op begins.

Free Play: Freely play around and test your robot! Here there is no timer so you can take your time to test your robot.

Select A Bot

Choose between Bot 4 and Bot 2! These two robots offer alternative ways to play the centerstage game.

Here are the alternative controls:
