Hi I have a Vex V5 claw robot at my school that I coded with last year with the codes storage on my school account. during the summer my school account got wiped and my code only lives on the robot. Is there a way to get back the code from the robot back on the computer.
Sadly I had a similar thing happen two years ago with my code, and I couldn’t find a way to do that, and was told that there isn’t a way to download code from the brain back to a device.

what about the SD slot of the brain can that extract anything
I don’t believe it can extract the code itself

This is not possible, full stop.

so I have the iq of a rock, but I’m gonna try to give my take on this:
A) searchbar, I’ve already asked this before
B) if you did find a way to the hard drive and managed to access it (I have no clue howd you do this) then I guess you COULD decompile it. But if it’s blocks then you’re absolutely screwed, it won’t go back (to my knowledge), and Python I don’t know anything about. And to even find the file would take a ton. I think @jpearman answered my question before so idk if there’s been any new developments in the past year and I’m totally wrong, or I’m just totally wrong.
This doesn’t work. I believe this is because the brain doesn’t actually have the .cpp (or equivalent for other languages) code on it. It only has the .exe and a bit of file information.
Yeah, but I’m thinking you can decompile the binary code. But again at that point just code the thing again it’s at least good practice to get better
Plus it wouldn’t be their code, it would be the compilers code, since it makes stuff different during compiling time

If you are really struggling to code there are example projects on VexCode V5 and Pro. You could also look here on the forum, but remember to use the search bar before you start a new topic.
