VEX V5 Text Speed of Motors

Programming Support VEXcode Pro V5 Text Tech Support
#1

My team and I are all new to VEX and we are still getting used to the format of V5 Text and coding in general.
We have already started working on our driver control code and practice, but we still have some questions. For our intake aspect of the robot, we noticed the motors were going at a pretty slow speed, and we would have liked the intake aspect especially to be a bit faster.

Is there any way to adjust the speed of the motors connected to a controller?

Yes, when you instruct motor to spin() you can specify either percentage of power (from -100 to +100) or desired speed (-200 rpm to +200 rpm with green cartridge). There should be no reason for them to have limited power.

If you share your current code wrapped in [code]...[/code] tags we could give you more specific help.
