VEXcode allows the block programs to be viewed as equivalent C++ or programs, to help more advanced students transition from blocks to text. VEXcode is consistent across VEX 123, GO, IQ and V5, and can be used to program the devices from each. The block-style interface makes programming simple for elementary through high- students. VEXcode is a Scratch-based coding environment designed by VEX Robotics for programming VEX Robotics hardware, such as the VEX V5 Brain. The motor's speed is programmable, but may also be altered by exchanging the internal gear cartridge with one of three cartridges of different gear ratios. The VEX V5 Motors connect to the brain via the hardware ports, and are equipped with an internal optical shaft encoder to provide feedback on the rotational status of the motor. The controller's LCD can be written to wirelessly from the robot, providing users with configurable feedback from the robot brain. Each controller is equipped with two hardware ports, a micro-USB port, two 2-axis joysticks, a monochrome LCD display, and twelve buttons. The controller allows wireless user input to the robot brain, and two controllers can be daisy-chained if necessary. Usage with a VEX V5 Radio enables wireless driving and wireless programming of the brain via the VEX V5 Controller. The Brain is equipped with a color LCD touchscreen, 21 hardware ports, an SD card port, a battery port, 8 legacy sensor ports, and a micro-USB programming port. The robot is controlled by a programmable processor known as the VEX V5 Brain. The VEX V5 Construction and Control System is a metal-based robotics platform with machinable, bolt-together pieces that can be used to construct custom robotic mechanisms.

Starting in 2021, the VEX Robotics World Championship will be held in Dallas, Texas each year in mid April. The description and rules for the season's competition are released during the world championship of the previous season. The robotics teams that consistently display exceptional mastery in all of these areas will eventually progress to the VEX Robotics World Championship. In each of the three leagues, students are given a new challenge annually, and must design, build, program, and drive a robot to complete the challenge as best as they can. VEX AI robotics teams will have an opportunity to compete in the VEX AI Competition (VAIC).
#VEX ROBOTC REGISTRATION#
The pilot program registration is scheduled to open to university students in fall of 2020. VEX AI is an advanced robotics program for high school and university students.VEX IQ robotics teams have an opportunity to compete annually in the VEX IQ Challenge (VIQC) robotics competition. VEX IQ is for elementary and middle school students.VEX V5 Robotics teams have an opportunity to compete annually in the VEX Robotics Competition (VRC) VEX V5 (previously VEX EDR) is for middle and high school students.There are three leagues of VEX robotics competitions meant for different age groups and skill levels: In April 2018, VEX Robotics Competition was named the largest robotics competition in the world by Guinness World Records. The VEX Robotics competitions and programs are managed by the Robotics Education and Competition Foundation (REC). VEX Robotics is a robotics program for elementary through university students, and a subset of Innovation First International.
