We used ROBOTC to simulate our programs on a virtual course. ROBOTC is a system developed by Robomatter that, along with companion program Robot Virtual Worlds, allows the user to write and run code for VEX robots without the need for any physical hardware or testing space. In this case, we were able to design a course for our navigation program and use it to test the robot to see if it could make its way to the exit.
