Product overview

The VEX IQ Competition Kit (2nd generation, 228-7980) is designed for teams taking part in the VEX IQ Robotics Competition, as well as classrooms that want more building options than the Education Kit offers. It is legal for VEX IQ competition use.

Its electronics include a 2nd-generation Robot Brain and Controller, a 2000 mAh lithium-ion Robot Battery, six Smart Motors, a Touch LED, a Bumper Switch, an Optical Sensor, a Distance Sensor, Smart Cables of several lengths and a USB cable. The structural and motion parts go well beyond the Education Kit, with additional motor shafts, specialty beams and connectors, and parts such as tank treads and offroad tires for building more capable competition robots.

Students program their robots in VEXcode and can draw on STEM Labs, the STEM Library and getting-started resources. The battery and Controller charge over USB-C in about two hours, with the battery designed to last a full classroom day.

    VEX GO Robot Kit

    The VEX GO Robot Kit (VEX GO Education Kit with Storage, 269-6705) is a single-robot construction system designed for elementary students in Grades 3-5. Students build models from color-coded beams, plates, gears, pulleys, wheels and pins, then bring them to life with a Brain, a battery, a switch, three motors, an Eye Sensor, an LED Bumper and an electromagnet. Builds are programmed with VEXcode GO, a block-based coding environment, and the kit is supported by standards-aligned STEM Labs, the STEM Library, build instructions and printable classroom resources. Students explore engineering and design thinking, coding and computational thinking, physical science, and math and data in project-based activities. Parts arrive pre-sorted in clear-lidded, stackable storage, which keeps classroom setup and clean-up simple. The battery uses rechargeable lithium iron cells, charges via USB-C in about 2.5 hours and is designed to last a full classroom day. No prior robotics experience is needed to start teaching.
