V5 Smart Cables and Tools V5 Smart Cables allow robot components such as motors and sensors to communicate with the Robot Brain. These are available to purchase at pre-cut short and long assortments, or create your own custom length wires with the V5 Crimping tool!
V5 Smart Cables are used to connect the V5 Robot Brain to V5 Radio, V5 Motor, Vision Sensor, and other smart devices. V5 Smart Cables can also be used to tether a V5 Robot Brain to a V5 Controller, and to connect a V5 Controller to a second Controller for partnered driving. This is a cable for making your own custom lengthVEXV5Smart Cables. Making your own cables is great for getting around the problem of cables that are just that bit too tight, or are so long that they get in the way or look amateurish.

Give your driver the chance to see things from the robot's perspective. The Vision Sensor is capable of detecting up to 7 colors at once, including multi-colored objects. Connect a phone or tablet to the V5 Robot Brain through built-in WiFi to stream a live feed of your robot's view to your device.
Other features include: Tracks up to seven individual colors at once Analyze objects for advanced tracking and path planning Built-in Wi-Fi radio Compatible with VEX IQ
The Vision Sensor provides a robot with new capabilities and allows for expanded learning. It uses a dual ARM M4/M0 processor for object detection at 50Hz. At its most basic mode it tells you where a colored object is located. The location's X value gives you the position right and left. When the camera is tilted down, the Y value gives you the distance to the object, with a little basic trigonometry on your part.

Enhances autonomous movement and feedback from a VEX robot by detecting a robot';s rotation from its origin on a single axis. Single-axis gyroscopic sensor Detects a rotation of up to + / - 1000 degrees per second Connects to analog inputs on VEX ARM® Cortex®-based Microcontroller Connecting the Yaw Rate Gyroscope Connect the Yaw Rate Gyro to an analog input on the VEX Microcontroller using a standard servo extension cable. The black (ground) wire goes adjacent to the 'B' silkscreened on the board. The center wire is for +5 volts. The white wire is signal. The mounting holes are electrically isolated from the circuit.
Everything starts with the V5 Robot Brain. Students and teachers can now run programs, troubleshoot their robot and get important feedback in real-time. Smart Ports automatically detect the type of connected device and handle motors and sensors interchangeably.

The V5 Robot Battery Li-Ion 1100mAh is the next evolution of the VEX EDR NiMh Battery, which will provide you consistent performance every time you power up your robot. This Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery is equipped with circuitry and control to allow for higher sustained power and more reliable function. The V5 System as a whole is designed to produce identical motor performance at any battery charge level. This means that the same battery can be used for multiple competition matches or class periods before needing to be recharged. LiFePO4batteries are proven to offer longer life cycles, and are safer than Lithium Ion batteries.
Battery run time depends on many factors including your robot design, your driving, and the number of motors used. Robots' often get 30+ minutes of heavy drive time from a single charge. Competition teams should be able to use one Robot Battery for multiple matches without recharging. Remember that with V5, a low battery does not change the motor's performance.
Built-in charge indicator lights
Charge time is approximately one hour
Note: Battery power cable and charger not included. (Power cable ships withV5 Robot Brain)
The V5 Smart Motor is more than twice as powerful as the 2-Wire motor 393, and puts an integrated encoder and a motor controller into one compact package. Customize speed and torque with interchangeable gear cartridges.
Use the built-in encoder to track a robot's rotational position and velocity
Ships with the standard gear cartridge of 18:1 (200 RPM)
Cartridges for 36:1 (100 RPM) ; 6:1 (600 RPM) are also available
Compatible with both VEX EDR shaft sizes
The motor runs at a slightly lower voltage than the batteries minimum voltage, and the motor's power is accurately controlled to +/-1%. This means the motor will perform the same for every match and every autonomous run regardless of battery charge or motor temperature.

VEX 123 is an interactive, programmable robot that takes Computer Science and Computational Thinking off of the screen and brings them to life for younger students (age 4 to 7). Classroom Bundles are the perfect solution for individual 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.
Coding Three Ways : The 123 Robot can be programmed in three uniquely engaging ways:
1. Create sequences using the touch-sensitive buttons on the Robot.
2.Insert physical Coder Cards into the revolutionary VEX Coder and download programs wirelessly to the Robot - no screens needed!
3.Unlock the full power of your 123 Robot with VEXcode 123, available for iPads, Android Tablets, Chromebook, Mac and PC.
The 123 Robot is sophisticated on the inside so that it can be simple on the outside. The robot will move and turn accurately and repeatably which keeps the focus on learning about sequencing and coding.
The Eye Sensor at the front of the robot can detect obstacles, colours, and light level whilst internal sensors detect collisions and robot interactions.
Output light in various colours via the VEX Button on the top of the robot and incorporate sound into your programs too!
