What do you use to code your robot?

What is missing ? As far as I remember, every VEXcode C++ API has an equivalent Python API.

I believe it had to do more with the Python culture overall, as compared to C++ equivalencies. I think I am referring to this post I made before:

Some basic questions from a newbie Robotics team

I will be learning how to code a VEX robot in Python via VEXCode Python. I hope it goes well, but my biggest critiques so far is: Compiler errors are not an automatic thing. Usually errors are automatically presented with Python IDE’s (example Pycharm), but with VEXCode you have to physically click the “build” button in order to see if any errors exist. No PIP integration. It is excruciatingly limiting when you cannot use regularly used Python packages (like numpy). I would love it if there i…

If I were to watch YouTube tutorials on Python, I would find that many packages are not included (although you did point out that you can add packages using the SD card). I know it’s not your fault and it is a tedious project (and we are grateful for the free software). It’s so close to hitting the mark, and adding in a couple more things would make a world of difference in my opinion.
