Product overview

The VEX IQ Robot Kit (2nd generation), sold as the VEX IQ Education Kit (228-8899), is a single-robot kit that builds coding and engineering confidence for students in Grades 5-8. It uses reusable, snap-together plastic parts, so students can design, build and rebuild robots without tools.

The electronics include a Robot Brain, a Controller, a rechargeable Robot Battery, four Smart Motors, a Touch LED, a Bumper Switch, an Optical Sensor, a Distance Sensor and a set of Smart Cables. These are combined with beams, plates, gears, sprockets and chain, shafts, wheels and connectors for a wide range of mechanisms.

Students program their robots with VEXcode and work through standards-aligned STEM Labs, practicing engineering design and collaborative problem solving. The robot battery charges over USB-C in about two hours and lasts a full classroom day, and the kit can later be upgraded to the Competition Kit with the Education-to-Competition Upgrade Kit.

    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.
