From the series: MATLAB and Simulink PASS Competitions Hub
Jose Avendano, MathWorks
Jose Avendano explains how to take existing MATLAB® and Simulink® algorithms and incorporate them into the VEX Robotics Competition template to trigger Autonomous and Driver Control modes for VEX robots connected to the field Competition Switch. This video also covers how to trigger autonomous algorithms using the VEX gamepad buttons.
