Well, finally the update came and VEXcode IQ Blocks supports the vision sensor now. I fooled around with it a little today and got my little speedbuild robot to follow a ball. I’m not saying the code I wrote is the best out there, but hey… The robot followed the […]

My guess is… Many people have loads of old VEX brains, motors and stuff they don’t know what to do with after they bought the new V5 system. To compound the problem, no-one else wants it either, unless you also want to give them the structure parts as well – […]
VEX has recently released beta versions of software that they want to use to replace RobotC, VEX Coding Studio, Modkit and all the others. The new suites are all called: VEXcode, but there will be different versions of VEXcode for IQ and EDR V5, also each will have a Blocks […]
I had to come up with a demo robot for Tower Takeover fairly quickly last week, so I modified a cap flipper / lifter I built for last season with a grabber wide enough for two cubes. I don’t think it will be a game winner, but I do think […]
Looking at the VEX EDR V5 Vision Sensor
New project – Making a VEX brother for WALL-E We’re doing obstacle avoiding robots in class now, so I made a tank tread base. I soon saw it looked like this little robot’s wheels. Then I got an idea, the normal obstacle avoiding robots are so boring, let’s give this […]
I looked around on YouTube for easy solutions to my lift problem: If I wasn’t careful, the lift would go past it’s usable range and break something like a linkage or a gear would pop out. Clearly I needed to add some limit switches to turn off the motor once […]
I had to design some bots for display at a competition. Not real competition bots, but based on what is required for the Turning Point Competition. The first design is the Ball Puncher featured earlier and the second one is a Cap Flipper and Lift. Since the first post, the […]
These kids only started with robotics three months ago and they have only one class per week: I haven’t counted exactly, but it amounts to about 15 hours of training. The competition was at the World Trade Center in Taipei. Have a look, they did pretty well, I’m so proud […]
