Let me just start this by saying how much I genuinely love Vex and how amazing I think it is. That being said, I don’t want to be ignorant to the fact that this program is not perfect (no program like vex really is if we’re being honest), so I’m just curious, what are issues that you have noticed in…

Then you would need to contribute to others before others helped you.

As a fun project, work out what size and weight of battery each motor would need based on V5 specs. One of the issues is that not all motors on a robot draw the same current over the course of a match. This is balanced by the fact that they all draw from the same battery. In a system where all mot…

Part of what I tell my employees and others that I manage “Don’t come with problems, come with problems and solutions.” I have a problem, I posted a solution. So what would be your plan?

Foster, while I too am bugged by the constant pointless and redundant topics, and I think that much can be done to solve that, I also think that you’re being a way too harsh on a newcomer. People are (rightfully) upset, and have a right to speak their minds, just they don’t quite know how to do it i…

It’s not the weight, it’s the volume. Wireless motors would be awesome in theory, but it’d take at least 3x 18650 cells per V5 Smart Motor to make this feasible in real life. You could make it work off 2x 18650 cells per motor if you’d be willing to dial back the mechanical power to 393 Motor level…

Is it waterproof for next years water game?

Changes to vex?

Yeah, no. The lineage isn’t that simple, and V5 most definitely isn’t “the 5th microcontroller VEX has released”.
