Keep an eye on this page, updated regularly, for a peek behind the curtain to see what’s coming next!
Last Updated: June 2025.
VEX AIM
Released February 2025
Meet VEX AIM, the game-changing coding robot that will transform computer science education in middle and high school classrooms. With its AI Vision Sensor and agile omnidirectional drive, it provides an immersive, hands-on learning experience, accessible through both block and Python coding via VEXcode. This advanced robot brings CS education off the screen, providing limitless possibilities for lessons and activities with its unique capability to kick, catch, and interact with balls and barrels. With its compact design, standing at less than 3 inches tall, this robot effortlessly fits into any computer science classroom, making it an ideal addition to the learning environment.
VEX AIR
Coming Q1/Q2 2025
The VEX AIR Drone is an advanced educational tool designed to enhance STEM learning by integrating drones into classroom activities and competitions, allowing students and educators to explore robotics, technology, and aeronautics. It offers versatile mission modules for various functions, an advanced dual-camera system for precise navigation, a touch screen controller with video streaming for live feeds and telemetry data, and a comprehensive sensor array for improved navigation and flight stability.
VEX PD+
Released August 2021
VEX PD+ is an on-demand streaming and learning platform that will enable users to learn from the best in both classroom and competitive robotics. A subscription to VEX PD+ contains access to a catalog of instructional videos, access to exclusive webinars, membership to a professional learning community, a STEM Lesson Library, and more.
VEXcode VR Enhanced / VEXcode VR Advanced
Released March 2022
VEXcode VR Enhanced has improved the graphics and resource access from the original VEXcode VR, making it more engaging and accessible. With VEXcode VR Advanced you can teach Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Self Driving Vehicles and bring competitions to the CS classroom.
VEX IQ Gen 2
Released August 2021
STEM education has evolved since the introduction of VEX IQ in 2013, and the robot construction system needed to evolve as well. The VEX engineers have made hundreds of minor improvements to the VEX IQ system, however, it is still the IQ system you know today, and it is all forwards and backwards compatible. We worked closely with STEM educators and mentors, and we’ve taken their feedback into account in this redesign as well. Advancements in silicon chipsets and battery technologies have also allowed for the integration of new features and capabilities in our robotics platform.
VEX EXP Kits & Bundles
Released August 2021
VEX EXP brings everything great about the V5 system to the classroom at a significantly lower price. The competition environment requires more powerful motors, additional ports, a touch screen for operation away from a computer, and longer metal structural parts for larger robots. Competition robots are weight critical and therefore use lighter, and more expensive, aluminum structures.
