My Blocks

My Blocks let you define your own custom reusable block. This category is conceptually similar to creating a function in traditional programming: define behavior once, then call it many times.

Core My Blocks​

Make a Block​

Creates a new custom block definition.

  • Type: definition/setup block
  • Typical use: group repeated logic into one named block

MyBlock (call block)​

Calls a previously created custom block.

  • Type: stack block (custom command call)
  • Typical use: reuse the same logic in multiple places without duplicating block stacks

Variadic examples​

These examples show custom My Blocks with different argument signatures.

Example usage in program stack​

This example shows a custom block call attached under when program starts, while the define my block stack contains the reusable motor logic.

  • Typical flow: call custom block from event stacks
  • Benefit: one definition, many call sites

My Block editor view​

The Make a Block editor is used to design your custom block signature. You can add labels and inputs (for example number/text and boolean inputs), then define implementation logic in the block definition stack.

Why use My Blocks​

  • Reusability: write once, call many times.
  • Readability: replace long repeated stacks with one meaningful name.
  • Maintainability: update logic in one place instead of many copies.
  • Structure: split large programs into smaller logical units.

Notes​

  • Custom blocks are project-level and intended for reuse inside the same profile/project context.
  • Prefer descriptive names that explain intent, not implementation details.
