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.

Other features include: 4.25” (108mm) full colour touch-screen Dashboards provide real-time diagnostics 21 Smart Ports Eight 3-Wire ports for analog and digital sensors Download programs wirelessly Programmable with VEXcode

Control your robot like never before with the cutting-edge V5 Controller. This controller packages two analog joysticks and 12 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.

Other features include:

LCD Screen for real-time information

Start and stop programs from the controller

Programmable haptic feedback

Competition practice mode - sync up with other robots and run practice matches

Built-in VEXnet 3.0 radio and Bluetooth®

Integrated rechargeable battery

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)

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.

Gear Options

Mechanisms such as flywheels and arms do not need large external gear ratios when the driving motor is already outputting a targeted output speed or torque. Therefore, changing internal gear ratios to fit specific needs allows more efficient and compact mechanisms to be designed. Use the clear window of the V5 Smart Motor to identify one of three user-changeable colored gear cartridges:

36:1 (100 RPM)- High torque, low speed. Great for robot arms and lifting heavy objects

Mechanisms such as flywheels and arms do not need large external gear ratios if the output shaft speed of the driving motor is already close to the desired speed or torque. Therefore, changing internal gear ratios to fit specific needs allows more efficient and compact mechanisms to be designed.

This cartridge has a 6:1 ratio, giving a maximum output speed of 600 rpm. Great for low torque, high speed applications such as intake rollers, flywheels, or other fast moving mechanisms.

Ratio 6:1
Rotational speed 600 rpm
Coloured coded blue for easy identification when fitted inside a VEX V5 Smart Motor

Gears are one of the primary sources of power transmission in VEX. Start with a simple project like building a gear reduction, and work your way up towards building more complex mechanism such as a differential for a drivetrain.

Measures accelerations on three axes simultaneously. By measuring the acceleration of the robot, one can calculate the velocity of the robot or the distance this robot has traveled. Accelerometers are also great for detecting collisions and determining if the robot is stopped or moving.

Three Axis Accelerometer
Selectable sensitivity via jumper: ±2g and ±6g
0-5V analog output (one for each axis)
Uses the LIS344ALH chip
LED indicates power and proper connection
Mounts directly to robot

This pack contains - High Strength Pillow Block (10-pack)

High Strength Shaft Hardware functions similarly to standard ⅛” shaft hardware, just on a larger scale. Use the High Strength Shaft Bearing to allow shafts to turn smoothly, the High Strength Shaft Spacer Kit to position objects on a shaft while reducing friction.

VEX V5 2", 3", and 4" High Strength Shafts are actually designed about 1 mm shorter than their respective 2", 3", and 4" 8-32 Standoffs.

vex This means that if you use standoffs to hold together two pieces of metal, the High Strength Shaft can rest on High Strength Shaft Bearings attached to those two pieces without any cutting required.
