VEX GO

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.

VEX GO is built for teaching STEM fundamentals to students (age 7-11). GO Education Bundles make STEM manageable for teachers and fun for students.

Education Bundles are the perfect solution for individual STEM classrooms. They can also be shared between two to six classrooms throughout the school year. The bundles contain everything educators need to get started and succeed.

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.

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.

Built-in charge indicator lights

Charge time is 1-2 hours

4 x Spare VEX GO Field Walls. (Tile not included)

Works with VEX GO, VEX IQ & VEX EXP

Spare Tile for your VEX GO Field. (Walls not included)

The GO Motor changes electrical energy into rotational movement that can be used in a GO build. The Motor can be powered in two ways:

It can be connected directly to the GO Battery through the GO Switch.

Or, the Motor can be connected to the GO Brain, and controlled by a VEXcode GO project.

The GO Smart Motor connects to any numbered port on the GO Brain.

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.

Spare Disks found in the GO kit. Can be used with the GO Electromagnet to pick up and drop Disks 

Kit Contents

1 x Red Disk

1 x Green Disk

1 x Blue Disk

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 Switch can be connected to a GO battery and a GO motor or LED Bumper to control them manually.

The Switch can be set to forward, reverse, or off.

Positive : rotates the Motor in the forward direction or sets LED Bumper to green

Negative : rotates the Motor in the reverse direction or sets LED Bumper to red

Using the VEX GO Switch

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.

Using VEX GO Sensors

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
