Vex Robotics by Innovation First, Inc.    
The Vex Robotics Design System is quickly becoming the robotics platform of choice in middle school, high school, tech school and university classrooms. Versatile, inexpensive and accessible, it is also an ideal platform for student robotic competitions. Beginning builders can design, assemble and quickly iterate their robots through trial and error. Advanced builders can utilize sophisticated programming capabilities to power highly intelligent bots. If you want to list your Vex related event (qualifiers, practices, scrimmages, workshop, etc.) e-mail us at info@robotevents.com. | | |

 This kit contains several new gear types designed to help you build advanced mechanical systems. The rack gear will mount on any Vex metal component, mesh with any Vex gear to create linear motion systems. The worm gears allow users to create very high reduction gearing in a small package; these gears will also resist "back driving" which may be useful in some applications. The kit comes with several bevel gears which allow designers to transfer motion "around corners"; you can change the axis of motion by 90 degrees. These bevel gears can also be used with the differential frame to build a differential. This can be utilized to create more efficient "car style" drivetrains.

 Increase your robot's maneuverability and minimize skidding. Smaller wheels around the circumference of the larger wheel allow it to roll laterally, as well as forward and backward. These wheels are the same size as the Medium Size "all-purpose" Vex wheels.
| | | $23.95 | | |
|
 Tank treads will enable your robot to explore much more demanding terrain than ordinary wheels. Tank treads distribute a vehicle’s weight more evenly than wheels, allowing your robot to move more easily in sand or on soft, spongy surfaces into which wheels would sink and bog down. This increased surface area also gives your robot more traction for hauling heavy loads up an incline. And because each link can grip the surface over which it’s traveling, a robot with tank treads can more easily climb obstacles or traverse crevasses in which wheels would get stuck.

 The Vex Robotics Design System is designed to be usable in a competition setting with multiple robots on the field together at the same time. The transmitter's frequency module and the matching receiver crystal determine the control frequency for a robot. Each robot operating at the same time should be on a different control frequency. There are 2 different kits, A and B, giving you a total of 8 more possible control frequencies.

 This contains additional gears so you will always have the right combination available to ensure you can achieve the desired balance of torque, speed, and direction. All the parts included in this kit were also included in the Starter Kit, with the exception of the 84-tooth gear, which is just like the other gears, except with more teeth, which gives you access to even higher (or lower) gear ratios. The 60- and 84-tooth gears have extra mounting holes. These holes can be used for attaching metal bars or parts to these gears when using them as part of a turntable system or other similar design

 The light sensor uses a photocell that allows your robot to detect and react to light. With the light sensor, you can program a whole new range of capabilities to your robot. Design a simple tracker that follows the beam of a flashlight, or use a light sensor to help your robot to avoid getting stuck under furniture by making it steer away from shadows. You can even give your robot color vision by putting colored filters on different light sensors! A Programming Kit is needed to change the program in the Vex Controller.
| | | $18.95 | | |
|
 Get even more creative with your robots by limiting action in programmed behavior. Includes 2 switches designed to control motion in lever arm or similar structure. A Programming Kit is needed to change the program in the Vex Controller.
| | | $11.95 | | |
|
 Program your robot to follow a black line over a white surface. This kit provides more design flexibility--you can also use it to program your robot for light sensing. A Programming Kit is needed to change the program in the Vex Controller.
| | | $38.95 | | |

 With the Quadrature Encoder's two output channels you can measure both the position and direction of rotation of a Vex shaft. This will allow you to calculate the speed of the shaft, as well as the distance it has traveled; these are very useful measurements for autonomous programming. You can measure with greater precision than IR or ultrasonic sensors.
| | | $18.95 | | |
|
 With the Potentiometer you can determine both position and direction of rotation. Use this sensor to get an analog measurement of angular position. This measurement can help to understand the position of robot arms, or other mechanisms. A Programming Kit is needed to change the program in the Vex Controller to use the Potentiometer . Includes (2) units.
| | | $11.95 | | |
|
 With the Vex Power Pack Rechargeable Batteries and Charger you will always have a charged set of batteries on hand! Includes a 7.2V Ni-Cad battery for your robot, a 9.6V Ni-Cad battery for your transmitter and a dual charger so you can charge both batteries at the same time.

 The Vex Signal Splitter is a 'No Brainer'. This control component can be used to drive up to (6) PWM devices, including Vex Continuous Rotation Motors & Vex Servos. Since this device is capable of directly taking the signal output from the Vex Receiver Module and driving motors/servos, it is now possible to build robots without the Vex Microcontroller. This module is not programmable and must be used with the Vex Transmitter and Receiver.
| | | $18.95 | | |
|
