An introduction to VEX IQ programming with Modkit: lesson 3
The purpose of this lessons is to introduce the students to sensors. Students will learn how sensors allow a robot to examine its environment and how this data can be used to make decisions. The lesson will center on the VEX IQ distance sensor. From a programming perspective conditional statements and nested loops...
An introduction to VEX IQ programming with Modkit: lesson 4
The purpose of this lesson is to introduce the ‘color’ sensor and its usage within Modkit. The students will also learn the concept of variables, which they will set to a constant value throughout the program.

An introduction to VEX IQ programming with Modkit: lesson 6
The purpose of this lesson is revise and combine all the programming skills the students have learned throughout these lessons. In addition students will extend their knowledge on variables.
The remaining lessons can...
From the outset, National Grid and VEX Robotics believed it vital that the impact of this programme was measured. Using Ideal Learning to independently interview and collect the data, the first year of the initiative was measured with pre- and post-involvement contact and data capture. This information was then...
How to build a combat robot
This guide has been written to support teachers and technicians who would like to build a combat robot. It describes:
- a range of different types of robots that you could make, discussing armour, weaponry, drive and control.
- advice for the design process
- health and safety...
Introduction to VEX Robotics (Mars rover)
In this full scheme of work, designed for a series of two-hour double-lessons, students develop a Mars Rover for NASA based on a standard VEX design. They learn about the components of a robotics system including control units and data communications, and work through a design process towards a prototype. The VEX...
Programming VEX IQ robots in Robot C
This resource develops coding with RobotC, in combination with VEX robotics. It provides a series of student tasks that increase in difficulty over time, developing student awareness of RobotC and its application within robotics. This resource would work as a compliment to using VEX IQ in the classroom and as a...
