VEX V5 Get Started
VEX V5 is a metal-based robotics platform with bolt-together pieces that can be used to create any mechanism. Students can begin at any level and move to more advanced Engineering and Computer Science concepts as they explore and challenge their robotic designs and coding projects. The VEX V5 Brain enables wireless driving and wireless programming while the V5 Controller provides users with instant feedback from the Robot Brain.
VEX V5 can be coded using VEXcode, a coding environment that provides students with an authentic coding experience and enables their VEX robots to become an engine of innovation. Whether you are getting started in the classroom, on the competition field, or both, VEX V5 is only limited by imagination. Select any of the links below to help you get started.
