Is blocks good for learning competition code? There are some rookies on my team and I’m curious for them. If it’s engaging I would rather use this for the time being to learn for text and pros. Also is there a competition template?

There is! VEXcode V5 Blocks is fully compatible with competition and is a great way to get new programmers able to successfully program their robots.
