Help with competition coding template.

Hi my kids are having an issue with their code, and I cant see to figure out whats wrong. Heres there code:

#include "robot-config.h"
/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/*                                                                           */
/*        Description: Competition template for VCS VEX V5                   */
/*                                                                           */
/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

//Creates a competition object that allows access to Competition methods.
vex::competition Competition;

/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/*                          Pre-Autonomous Functions                         */
/*                                                                           */
/*  You may want to perform some actions before the competition starts.      */
/*  Do them in the following function.  You must return from this function   */
/*  or the autonomous and usercontrol tasks will not be started.  This       */
/*  function is only called once after the cortex has been powered on and    */
/*  not every time that the robot is disabled.                               */
/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

void pre_auton( void ) {
  // All activities that occur before the competition starts
  // Example: clearing encoders, setting servo positions, ...


}

/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/*                                                                           */

/*  a VEX Competition.                                                       */

/*  You must modify the code to add your own robot specific commands here.   */

            Arm.stop(vex::brakeType::brake);
        }

Bumping to the top

Thanks, figured it out :smiley:

Where is “main” ?

ya thats what they deleted, I didnt notice it till I sat with them and watched what they did. They have a separate code that handles just driving, and they copied and pasted it into their comp code, without noticing they deleted the bottom section. We’re coming from RobotC so its still a steep learning curve for us.

They got it and started working on their auton mode for our competition this Saturday :-).
