Good Morning Everyone,
I’m a first year robotics teacher at a high school in Massachusetts. We’re using VEX 5 and VEX Legacy hardware. Was looking to see if there were any additional robot builds you all could share while I get familiar with the class.
We currently make the Tumbler and Clawbot with vex instructions. We’ve tried to do ping pong launcher and a stair climber. I like having students engineer on their own, but its also good to have some instructions for robots in the beginning. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello, Welcome to the forum!
I would definitely have your students make the MOBY (this years current hero bot). It is a good beginner lesson on gear ratios and a two bar lift.
This page has some basic robots that would be good to experiment with.

The link that @N1kkiisaweom3 posted is very helpful for builds.
Below is a wiki developed by Purdue (and some other students) with helpful information about a lot of robotics and Vex as a whole. In the Remembering The Best section hosted by the Vex CAD project also has some other cool robots you can look at.

You might also poke around the vex site, in particular: education.vex.com and kb.vex.com
