Session 4 - Coding the Clawbot
Now that you’re an expert driver, it’s time to learn to code your Clawbot! In this Session we dive into coding using VEXcode IQ, so that you can code your Clawbot to play robot basketball games. You’ll create projects to move your Clawbot for Basketball Drills, then build on what you learned to play a game of Robot Basketball!

Session 5 - Coding Games
In your final Session, you’ll compete in your biggest challenge yet - the Capstone Challenge! To play this game, your score is made up of Driving Skills (where you play with the Controller) and Coding Skills (where you play with a coding project and no Controller). You’ll learn different coding tips and tricks to help you strategize and score even more points along the way!
