About the Course

VEX V5 is a robotics platform designed for educational use, featuring a metal-based construction system with bolt-together parts, a programmable "V5 Brain" control unit, a dedicated controller for wireless operation, and smart motors that allow students to build and program robots with varying levels of complexity, ideal for learning STEM concepts through hands-on robotics projects; it provides flexibility for both novice and experienced users to design and build custom mechanisms while offering real-time feedback through the controller and brain interface. ​A few things about VEX V5 that differentiate from VEX IQ: * Modular design: Metal parts easily connect with bolts, enabling custom robot builds. * V5 Brain: The central processing unit with a touchscreen display for programming and monitoring robot status. * V5 Controller: Wireless device for user input and real-time feedback from the robot. * Smart Motors: Motors with built-in encoders that provide feedback on position and speed. * Programming: Utilizes a user-friendly coding environment to program robot movements and sensor interactions. * Educational focus: Designed to teach STEM principles through hands-on robotics experiences.
