Upload code

First, choose your programming language and then choose your file from where ever it is on your computer and then press upload

Clear

Press this button every time you want to “Run” the competition again. It will make you sure that all the previous Runs are killed and everything is ready for a new Run!

Run

First, press the “Run client” server and then after a few seconds press the “Run Server” button. Now you should see the robot move and do its task in the world.

Run Scratch client

Press the “Run Server” button  then follow the below steps:

1. Go to https://scratchx.org/?url=https://Robocup-simplus.github.io/simplus.js#scratch (wait till the extension loads)
