My team is trying to focus on fixing our launching mechanism and it’s taken them quite some time. I have no idea where I should go to test my code, which, as of right now, is quite a lot and I have no idea how much of it is bugged. I’ve heard that Vex VR is a good spot to test it at, but is there a way to turn a V5 file onto there so I can test it? Tysm 
If you have a spare V5 brain - I would use that as a platform to test - you can have a motor with a gear and arrow so you can check is the motor rotating in correct direction etc.
Hi! as a programmer i run into this problem a lot, my best advice to give is to let your team know you have code to test, preferably when the robot is in a state when it is possible to be used without falling apart. doing so will allow growth in programming, team communication, and overall team performance. there is also a vex vr, which is kinda like a minigame, i can find the link for you if you like. it requires programming exactly the same as regular blocks, im not sure if it allows for python or C++, and you cant custom design the robot, it doesnt have a launcher, it has a “magnet” to move blocks and such. this is the best advice I can give, I hope it is helpful in some way 
So its not a total translation from V5 to VR, but if ur codiing in python, C++, write out the code you want to test using the vex vr motors it has, (Intake_motor, arm_motor, etc etc), I have my kids write out their functions in vex vr if the driver is practicing to test it out, since the VEX VR robot has almost everything on it that you could test.
