- Identify why the Competition Template is required to be used in a VEX Robotics Competition
Summary
Summary Section
In Lesson 1 you will learn that a VEX Robotics Competition match has two alliances (red and blue) made up of two teams each, that compete in an autonomous portion and a driver control portion. Each match is regulated by a Field Control System (FCS) to ensure that all robots start and end at the appropriate times. This video covers the mechanics of a match in order to explain why the use of a Competition Template is required in a VEX Robotics Competition Match.
