Product overview

The VEX V5 Robot Brain (276-4810) is the controller at the center of every V5 robot. Students and teachers use it to run programs, troubleshoot their robot and see real-time feedback on its 4.25-inch full-color touchscreen, with dashboards that show device diagnostics.

Its 21 Smart Ports automatically detect whether a motor or sensor is connected, so devices can be plugged into any port and swapped on the fly. Eight built-in 3-Wire ports support analog and digital sensors, including legacy VEX EDR devices. Inside, a Cortex A9 processor works with an FPGA, and the Brain offers 128 MB RAM, 32 MB flash, eight user program slots, USB 2.0 High Speed, VEXnet 3.0 and Bluetooth 4.2 wireless, and storage expansion up to 16 GB.

The Brain is programmed with VEXcode and can be mounted through four 8-32 inserts or detachable flanges. The package includes the Brain, a magnetic screen protector, a V5 power cable and long and short attachment flanges.

    VEX IQ Robot Kit (2nd generation)

    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 IQ Competition Kit (2nd generation)

    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.
