What are your observations? What do you think is/are the defining characteristics of VEXcode VR?

What do we mean by "web-based" application?

Clue: all life on Earth is carbon-based; a watercolor set is water-based; a poster paint set can be oil-based, too!

VEXcode VR is:

• web-based

• block-based

• color coded

• and the texts within the blocks is close to human speech so it is beginner-friendly, too!

At this point, we are going to watch a video.
