Robot Virtual Worlds a VEXcode Companion piece?

[CentralTeacher]

Would it be possible to provide the VEX Community with RVW 30 day trial licenses? I know it is outdated, but is one of few options for students to use given the present situation. Plus, when it is paired with cs2n.org, it makes for a decent curriculum option to hold everyone over, even with the blocks/text being out of date, and slightly different. And since we’re on the subject. Will Robotmatter/VEX create a RVW companion for VEXCode? Seems like it would be in high demand right about now.

Will Robotmatter/VEX create a RVW companion for VEXCode?

This thread details that as of July 2019, Virtual Worlds was not planned for IQ Blocks. Needless to say, that could change, or not apply to the rest of VexCode applications.

VEXcode IQ Blocks - Fully Functional Preview

At this time, Robot Virtual Worlds as it is known in ROBOTC is not planned for VEXcode IQ Blocks. We are, however, looking at ways to provide interactive experiences within the VEXcode IQ Blocks software for future versions.

This is a good post about available Virtual Worlds solutions stuff.

Y’all knock it off with the misinformation. It’s not helping anyone. CAD software can be used to model a stationary robot from scratch. You can use a parts library (just ask me) or model each part yourself. You could use Inventor, Fusion 360, Solidworks or many others. It would be a VERY good idea to get to know Inventor, especially if you plan on taking an engineering class in high school. Robot Virtual Worlds (likely what you were referring to) is a PAID piece of software that goes with Ro…

To completely answer your question, I believe at some point, be it 1 month or 3 years, Robotmatter/Vex will create a Virtual Worlds for VexCode. Is it their priority right now? No. Is it even in the works right now? Who knows. This features page from their website details the changes being made for VexCode 2.0 versions, and Virtual Worlds is not mentioned.

VEXcode V5 Block iPad App Update

We’ve shifted priorities and are working on some tools specifically to help with this need and hope to have something in the coming few weeks… It’s a giant time of change for everyone, including our development roadmaps, to accommodate this quick changing world.
