Welcome to the forums. Just a reminder, when creating topics, make sure to properly catagorize them.

Thank you for the reminder! Will do!

So I see you have a very helpful list there totaling 7K without stuff like registration. Do you suggest for a new team to get everything on there? And what would be the pro/con of replacing some of the basic elements on there by buying a competition super kit, the backorder situation aside?

i just have it as a reference for new users and yes there is some cons but once you use Purdue sigbots guide it helps out find and fix the problems with the chance of them breaking if not used right

The coach/team contact needs to create an account on RobotEvents. That can be done here:
https://www.robotevents.com/auth/register

If you are a student on the team, then you need whoever will be your adult contact/coach do it. If you are the adult, then you can do it.

The email used to create the account will need to be verified in order to register a team. Once an account is created and the email is verified, choose the program from the Robot Competitions dropdown on the top left. On the program page, choose “Register a Team”. Go through the registration process for the team and when you get to the checkout steps there will be an option to generate a quote instead of completing the payment. Your principal will be able to create a PO based on the quote. Once you have the PO, you can go back into the order and complete it by entering the PO number and uploading the PO.

Hi, I am new to coding and I can’t figure out how to do something on vex code v5 pro.
how do you do: if button A pressed run scissor_lift motor forward for 10 seconds?

If you are new to coding, I recommend using VexCode V5 Blocks to get the hang of coding before immediately rushing to Pro.

Assuming you already have blocks, you can use the convert feature to learn how block code looks in text. Good luck!

I figured it out, I did: if (Controller1.ButtonA.pressing()) {
scissor_lift.spinFor(reverse, 1.5,seconds);
}
