Once we’ve cracked the code on navigating Virtual Byte to any desired position and completing a specific task in Full Volume Virtual Skills, we step into the most exciting phase: devising the game strategy and maximizing the score！
To determine an effective game strategy, it is essential to understand the game rules thoroughly, as well as the scoring efficiency and difficulty levels associated with each task in the game.
The Full Volume contains 3 Goals, 73 Blocks, and 1 Supply Zone. According to our previous exploration experiences, we can evaluate the tasks’ scoring efficiency and difficulty levels. The following table is an example (please note that individual perceptions may vary).
Tips:
For some complex tasks, creating simple experiment projects might help us in evaluating. For example, the following GIF shows a project’s execution and tells us that the robot uses around 55 seconds to score 11 Green Blocks into a Goal achieving Fill Level 2. From this, we can infer that the difficulty level for both tasks, Clear Supply Zone and reaching Fill Level 3 of the Goal using only Green Blocks, will be high.
With a clear understanding of the VIQC game rules and the various tasks involved in Full Volume, we can devise an effective strategy to maximize scoring within one minute.
1. Beginner-Friendly Strategies
We can start by selecting some easy tasks strategically to complete while making sure to obtain Uniform and Height Bonuses to maximize our scoring. For example, we can opt to complete the scoring combination illustrated in Goal Scoring Example 1, remove three Red Blocks, and accomplish partial parking. By doing so, we can attain a total of 66 points!
The following GIF demonstrates the execution process of Goal Scoring Example 1 in the VIQC Virtual Skills.
We can see that after completing all the selected tasks, we still have 25 seconds left. This time provides us with an opportunity to accomplish the Full Parking task, which would boost the score to 71 points. In addition, we can also score more Green Blocks into the Goals to improve our overall score!
2. Advanced Strategies
After mastering the basics, we are eager to crack higher difficulty level challenges to elevate our score.
In the previous strategy, we successfully acquired the Uniform Bonus for all three Goals. At this point, the most effective approach to boost the score is to increase the highest Fill Level shared by all three Goals to earn more Height Bonuses while maintaining the Uniform Bonuses. There are various ways to fulfill this aim. The following image shows one example.
The following GIF demonstrates the execution process of Goal Scoring Example 2 in the VIQC Virtual Skills. Now we received a total of 82 points!
Do we still have a chance to improve the robot’s performance in the game? Absolutely! For instance, accomplish the scoring combination illustrated in Goal Scoring Example 3 or Goal Scoring Example 4.
As we know that improving the robot’s performance means that we need to control the robot to complete more tasks within the one-minute timeframe. Therefore, we must optimize our project and enhance the scoring efficiency.
Tips to improve efficiency:
-
Minimize the time needed for Virtual Byte to complete the process of scoring a Block. Enable the robot to raise or lower its arm while in motion using the and don’t wait feature of the spin ArmMotorGroup to position block.
-
An efficient route plan empowers Virtual Byte to accomplish more tasks within the limited game time. The shorter driving distance and smaller rotational angles result in less travel time. Furthermore, an efficient route design can prevent the robot from driving onto Blocks, which could cause deviations from the target.
The most fascinating feature of Full Volume is that there is no standard solution but unlimited opportunities to enhance performance. In the game, we can unleash our creativity and explore the potential possibilities, and the most important – HAVE FUN! Good luck! And have a fantastic season!
