If you used pwm 3wire output to drive motor controllers, you could get some beefy battlebots-level motors+controllers and basically make an autonomous electric go kart.

Vex Robotics Competition:
MarioKart

MarioKart is played on a 1 x 1 mile square field. The goal? Get to the finish line first with your alliance. You can use shells against the opposing alliance. Do not throw shells at other drivers.

I know we did this for our KOP chassis & cortex in frc last year, do you think it’s possible this year using V5?

We used 2 mini cims and a small electronics board to make a testing and prototyping chassis. Before that we stuck a chair to it for fun.

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if there was a video of this robot defending its territory from a household pet or Roomba?

Please don’t revive old-ish topics for meaningless additions like this.

That’s V5 Beta Hardware… it shipped in a light grey and white color scheme

Much better than the current ones imo

#39

Who was given the beta hardware?

#40

You had to apply for it and it was used for classroom applications

#41

How much did it cost? And did it include anything other than what we have today?

#42

VEX provided the beta hardware to selected schools and teams at the beginning of 2018, there was no charge, the beta units were/are not competition legal and some of the hardware (eg. batteries) changed for production.

We had lots of extra beta motors, they cannot be sold or used for competition but are good for development and testing. The robot I pictured has a mixture of beta and production parts on it.
