For people who doesn’t understand or didn’t watch the middle school field breakdown, the autonomous win point criteria will change for major competitions like worlds

[@AstroPlayzRoblox]

Huh

[@AnotherPersonA]

@@AstroPlayzRoblox The Game Designer refers a lot about stuff he can’t refer to because it will be released after the interview was recorded, and he was talking about the VRC Middle School Worlds field breakdown, where all of that information is talked about.

he slipped up and called the ai sensor a 2d sensor… will there be a 3d one?

[@thatparticularpencil5079]

You need two eyes for 3d vision. The ai sensor will be 2d

[@solopeyton7168]

4:16 he says not to do everything (logging this for my team, don't mind me)

I purchased the KS0085 Keyestudio Smart Home Kit for Arduino
I followed the steps in the wiki and reached the step of connecting the plus board, but it did not appear for me in the device manager in Windows. What is the solution? Please respond quickly.

[@CreatorAcademyAustralia]

In Devices it should appear under Ports (COM & LPT) as “Silicon Labs 210x…”. If you are connecting in Arduino software, you should select “Arduino Uno” in the list. Good luck! Garry

I feel like there won't really be that much climbing unless there are some major rule changes because
1. It is currently insanely hard due to weird expansion rules and
2. It is basically useless in most situations because of the corners

[@AnotherPersonA]

Maybe, but it is good to take in account that you can only have a maximum of 88 points in this game, so max elevation is still 13% of the points you can get in High Stakes, so I feel personally it will be much more useful than you think. For the first point however you might be right, but it was already very rare to see an over under bots elevation break those rules so it may be more of a challenge but I think people will find a way.

[@idk-mz3ys]

@@AnotherPersonA i see your point, but a fully filled mobile goal in a positive corner is worth 16 points, which is even more. on top of that, due to expansion rules, it would probably take atleats 10-15 seconds to reach level 3 if your fast, which would give your opent time to move the mobile goal to a negative corner, which is a 24 point swing, which will cancel out your elevation.
