Im very new to using robotc. Im using robotc 2.0 and I am wondering if there is a code that will be autonomous and everytime a touch sensor is released the motor starts for 5 seconds and then stops.. if the touch sensor is pressed it resets this process allowing the whole thing to start over if it is released.

If someone could post a code it would be greatly appreciated as I have no clue where to start

I would suggest taking a look through our VEX Cortex Video Trainer using ROBOTC as it goes over some very important and useful programming tools in ROBOTC, such as infinite while loops, conditional statements, motor control commands, and wait statements (all of which will probably be needed in your code). The video trainers will help you understand ROBOTC (and coding in general) better, as they walk you through several programs ranging from basic movement all the way up to advanced functions and remote control.

I was where you were at one time, so I feel for you. Don't get dicouraged when you run into stuff like this! This is very easy. you have to use something called funcitons. ROBOTC defaults to autonomous mode, so you never have to say anything in the code to indicate autonomous mode.

It should work, but let me know if it doesn't....

#pragma config(Sensor, dgtl1, name_of_touchsensor, sensorTouch)
//*!!Code automatically generated by 'ROBOTC' configuration wizard !!*//

void stop_for_5sec ()
{
motor[port1]=40;
wait1Msec(5000);
}

task main()
{

while(true)
{
if(SensorValue(name_of_touch sensor)==0)
{
stop_for_5sec();
}
}

}
