VEX Robotics is educational robotics for everyone. VEX solutions span all levels of both formal and informal education with accessible, scalable, and affordable solutions. Beyond science and engineering principles, VEX encourages creativity, teamwork, leadership, and problem solving among groups. It allows educators of all types to engage and inspire the STEM problem solvers of tomorrow!
SG Education are the exclusive partner of VEX Robotics in the Republic of Ireland. We supply all the components for the annual VEX competitions held throughout the country and work with schools and educational establishments to support the development of STEM education amongst their students.
The Battery is essential for any VEX GO build that includes electronics. The Battery provides power to VEX GO electronic components and connects to the orange port on the Brain or Switch.
To charge the Battery, connect to a power source using the USB-C cable provided in the VEX GO Kit. The Battery is designed to last approximately one school day.
The GO Brain is essential for any VEX GO build that is run by a VEXcode GO project. The Brain runs user projects and controls the devices connected to the Brain.
Features:
Four number ports (1 - 4) for GO Motors, GO LED Bumpers and GO Electromagnets.
One Eye Sensor port that supports one Eye Sensor.
One Battery port that supports on GO Battery.
Bluetooth wireless connectivity to devices running VEXcode GO.
The GO Electromagnet is a specific type of magnet where the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. The Electromagnet can pick up and put down the Disks which contain metal cores.
The GO Electromagnet connects to any numbered port on the GO Brain.
The GO Eye Sensor detects if there is an object present and the colour of the object. Colour detection is red or green or blue. It will also register the brightness of the ambient light.
The GO Eye Sensor connects to the blue-green port on the GO Brain.
Note:The Eye Sensor must be attached to the Brain before powering the Brain on in order to work properly. If the Eye Sensor is attached or removed after the Brain has already been powered on, the Brain must be power cycled in order for the Eye Sensor to function properly.
The GO LED Bumper is both a light and a bumper switch. As a sensor, the LED Bumper can be used to display coloured light: red, green, or off. As a bumper switch, the LED Bumper reports if it is pressed or released.
The GO LED Bumper connects to any numbered port on the GO Brain.
Four Competitions in One Kit. Bring the excitement of robotics competitions to your classroom and community with VEX GO. The GO Competition Kit contains everything you need to build one of four different themed games with your VEX GO Competition Kits.
Ocean Science Exploration
City Technology Rebuild
Village Engineering Construction
Mars Math Expedition
Each kit contains a field made from easily configurable tiles and walls. The game objects are built from the VEX plastic design system. Each kit comes with two carrying cases to make the game fields simple to transport - even while partially assembled.
Kit Contents
1 x GO Competition Field Element Kit
14 x Field Tiles
1 x Green Field Tile
1 x Red Field Tile
22 x Field Walls
2 x Field Carrying Cases
Each of the four game fields are 3'1" x 6'1". These field can be separated into smaller fields as needed
This kit provides over five feet of heavy-duty tank treads, perfect for building tough robot tracks that can conquer any terrain. But that's not all! The kit also includes soft rubber pads for superior grip and special fins that help create efficient conveyor belts for scooping up objects. With this upgrade kit, the possibilities are endless!
Climb over obstacles.
Traverse tough terrain.
Drive through sandy or soft spongy surfaces.
Can be used for a robot conveyor belt.
Every section is a master link, create treads of any length.
Defense may not always win championships, but being able to move does. Put some power on the floor with our large variety of wheel options available for builders.
If you need more grip, these Traction Wheels offer great pushing ability and are designed for optimal grip on soft surfaces like the foam tiles used in the VEX Robotics Competition.
