VEX GO is an affordable STEM construction system that taps into children's natural inquisitiveness. VEX GO utilises the VEX IQ plastic construction system and adapts it for primary students. GO kits contain all parts, motors and electronics needed to bring STEM to life!
Storage Done Right The GO Kit with Storage is pre-sorted into a convenient re-usable carrying case. This keeps all the parts organised and easily accessible.
Coding Done Right Block based coding is easy for young coders with VEXcode. Available for Tablets, Chromebooks, Macs and PCs.
STEM Lessons Our latest research-backed educational solution is called STEM Labs. These 40-minute lessons can be utilised in sequential order to create unique, extended learning experiences. STEM Labs promote collaboration and exploratory learning.
The IQ Competition Kit makes starting a new VEX IQ Challenge team easy. This kit contains all the parts from the VEX IQ Education Kit and adds another two bins of parts and extra motors to allow teams to build a competitive robot.
Organised Storage is a Game Changer The IQ Competition Kit comes packaged in four storage bins to keep everything organised and easily accessible.
VEX IQ Electronics The IQ Competition Kit comes with everything needed to power, remotely operate, and code your robot. The Robot Brain now includes a colour screen. Improvements have been made to the Robot Battery that lets your competition robots run for even longer, the wireless controller that enables operation and testing of robot builds, and the Optical and Distance Sensors that enhance detection capabilities. Even though we have made many improvements to the electronics, IQ is still forwards and backwards compatible with the 1st generation electronics.

These Omni-Directional wheels roll forward like normal wheels but slide sideways with almost no friction (no skidding during turns). Use these wheels to make your robot turn smoothly or build a holonomic drive train. Diameter approx. 62mm Travel: 200mm (distance covered in 1 revolution) Omni-Directional Wheels roll sideways with very little friction Minimize skidding during turns Made from ABS plastic Rollers are soft rubber-coated ABS
The Smart Motor does more than just make your wheels spin or arm move. The built in processor, quadrature encoder and current monitor allow for advanced control and feedback through the Robot Brain. Command speed, direction, time, revolutions and degrees Mounts directly to VEX IQ structural components Command motors up to 3,000 times/second Encoder resolution is 0.375 degrees Supports event programming to simplify software The Smart Motor module converts electrical energy from the battery into rotational energy. Motors are the heart of robots, turning wheels, moving arms, and closing claws. The motors square output socket makes connecting the output shafts easy.
This controller packages analog joysticks and buttons into a familiar video-game style design. A rechargeable battery ensures enough charge to get you through multiple class periods or a full day of competition. Two analog joysticks and ten buttons Built-in Bluetooth 5.0 Radio Wireless pairing to the Robot Brain Wirelessly download programs from VEXcode via USB-C Start and stop programs from the controller Integrated rechargeable battery USB-C Rechargeable - Battery included
VEX Synthetic Rubber Bands have dozens of uses on a robot. Their spring-like properties make them perfect for latches, triggers, and return mechanisms. Size:3" x 1/8" (76mm x 3mm)
The VEX Pin Tool makes working with VEX GO and VEX IQ pins and plastic even easier. Use the Pin Tool just as you would a pair of pliers. Simply place the tool over the pin you want to remove, squeeze, and pull!
The Pin Tool has two other useful features on its handles. One side can be used to pry two beams apart, while the other can be used to push out pins (such as a 0x2 capped connector) that the tool would normally not be able to grab.
Plastic Shaft Base Pack The Plastic Shaft Base Pack contains various length shafts for different purposes and pitches your design may require. This pack is included in all VEX IQ Starter Kits and Super Kits.

These kits contain all the parts needed to convert a 1st Generation VEX IQ Kit to a 2nd Generation Education Kit, minus the electronics. Structural and Motion parts only.
Great for those that already have 1st Generation electronics!
Please note: If you are looking to upgrade to a 2nd Generation Education Kit, you will only need to purchase VEX 2288657. If you'd like to upgrade to a 2nd Generation Competition Kit, you will also need to purchase VEX 2287597.
The IQ Robot Brain is the heart of every VEX IQ robot. Students and teachers can run programs and get important feedback in real-time. Smart Ports automatically detect the type of connected device and handle motors and sensors interchangeably. The IQ Robot Brain also updates sensors and the controller automatically.
Other features include: Built-in Bluetooth 5.0 Radio Built-in 6-Axis Gyro/Accelerometer Color screen with multi-lingual support Dashboards provide real-time diagnostics 10 Smart Ports Programmable with VEXcode IQ in Blocks, C++ and Python Download code wirelessly with the IQ Controller (2nd generation) MicroSD slot for storage and datalogging

The Super Kit takes educational robotics to the next level. Students can use the familiar handheld Controller with the pre-programmed code to drive robots right out of the box, or program them to run autonomously using the additional Smart Sensors. While the included Clawbot IQ instructions help students easily build their first robot, the wide variety of additional included parts means that a team of students can build a robot that is bigger, stronger, and more functional. Over 850 Structural & Motion Components 4 Smart Motors, 7 Sensors, Robot Brain, Controller & Batteries Included Storage Bin & Tray included for organized storage of all parts The Super Kit is an all encompassing introduction to STEM and robotics. VEX IQ robots can be immediately driven using the hand held VEX Controller and built-in programs. VEX IQ sensors, including a colour sensor, gyroscope and potentiometer allow for advanced robots and teaching opportunities. Robots can be programmed via a computer and Modkit graphical programming software, Robot Mesh Python or ROBOTC. The included Smart Motors and full range of sensors provide significant learning opportunities. All VEX IQ Starter Kits come with FREE programming software included. Modkit will be familiar to users of Scratch and it can now be installed as a standalone application or as an iPad app on as many machines as you like. For more advanced users, ROBOTC is a feature-rich environment with both graphical and text interfaces which means your robot designs are never constrained by the capabilities of the programming language.
The number of installations is unlimited, so it can be installed across your site as well as giving students the capability to install and use the software at home.
