VEX V5 Get Started
The VEX V5 Workcell is an introduction into the world of industrial robotics. These unique STEM Labs and educator resources provide students with the opportunity to develop technical and problem solving skills by designing and building a simulated manufacturing workcell with a five axis robot. Nearly all products manufactured in the world today utilize some form of mechanization, many of which include robotic workcells. The V5 Workcell utilizes a robotic arm and conveyor systems build out of parts designed to work with the VEX V5 system.
