mixtrn - Nature of VEX : 05 Vectors and Forces

Welcome to Week 5:

This week we start adding forces to our "particle"  using vectors we will direct the movement and direction of our particle to give it a logic.

We will make forces like in the real works and test them making our particle move to the position of another particle, then we'll take what we did and add a few more components to our system so we can add different forces and have it collide with the floor, we are building the base for our behavior system.

  • Adding acceleration

  • Adding velocity

  • Add a target for our object to follow

  • Add Gravity

  • Adding a Collision floor

  • Creating a VEX function

  • Add wind
