Questions About New Virtual Skills

VEX V5 General Discussion General Forum

The new virtual skills options seem really interesting- from my understanding it is a tool for students to learn how to program robots. I have a few questions about it :

  1. Are there rankings for virtual skills scores ?
  2. Can you add your own custom robot design with virtual skills- if so what file types are supported ?
  3. Can I qualify for national/internatioanl stages with virtual skills ?
  4. Is it essentially similar to the robot virtual worlds which were previously available for RobotC

Are there any prizes for virtual skills rankings ?

I believe there are a small amount of worlds qualification spots that will be given to some of the top virtual skills teams. However this may be false.

Okay I was wondering about this as well. I am currently working on the virtual skills and it’s pretty fun, but I think I might be able to get the highest score (if the stupid platform wasn’t so buggy it’d already be done :angry:). If I do, I was told my team would qualify for worlds, but I wanted to check to see if this was true. I did some Google searches, but none of them could pull up any information on it. Kinda frustrating to be honest.

I think ive heard something similar but I cant find anything online to back it up.

This page doesn’t mention virtual skills at all - https://kb.roboticseducation.org/hc/en-us/articles/5474199602071-Qualifying-Criteria-for-VIQC-VRC-and-VEX-U-Events

Can anybody confirm/deny if virtual skills gives world qualifications?
