How do you make a three way motor group with block coding? Thanks!

You can’t. I know there is a way to do it in VS Code for V5, but since you are in VEXcode IQ, I don’t think that VS Code is supported

You can, if using a gen 2 IQ brain (ie. Using blocks that generates Python) [image] How to make a motorgroup with 3 motors in VEXcode blocks Programming Support There was a comment here that blocks only allows two motors in a motorgroup. While on the surface that is tr…

Or just control all 3 using separate commands for each motor, one after the other. It will be fine.

Not in push back. You need motor groups for this game.

[image] AMERICAN_DRIVE: For v5 not IQ. Thanks Well, you posted in an IQ category. Same concept (using switch blocks) would work for V5.

This would be my answer. But I have an add on question. It looks like motor groups is just syntax sugar. Is there any benefit to motor groups over making a function that just runs the three motors as 3 separate commands?

My take has always been that 3 separate commands, stacked together, are essentially the same as a group. The brain cycles through commands at the “speed of cpu”… so the millisecond delay does not matter to the motors which run at the “speed of physics”. It also allows you, running separately, to qu…
