Is there a plan for vex to release a new v6 series of motors and brain or do they plan to use v5 for a while longer. We would like to purchase a new brain but if say next season is the last season for v5 we don’t wanna buy a new brain just for it to become obsolete?
Maybe @jpearman can give an answer.
No, and “V6” probably won’t come for a couple of years at least. If they did release V6, it is assumed the timeline will follow the Cortex to V5 switch.
There were 2(?) seasons I believe after the introduction of V5 (Turning Point and Tower Takeover?) where both the older Cortex and V5 systems were both legal for use, and Cortex was phased out completely by Change Up. So if they do introduce V6 (which probably won’t be soon), they’ll give us at least 2 years to switch, and by then you’ll probably be out of high school.

That’s kind of unfortunate because I would love to experience more updated electronics, but at the same time I understand that it’s would be a huge change not only for vex but for the teams also.
There is always VEX U!
