Just a statement about the terminology being used. VRC is not being replaced. VRC stands for VEX Robotics Competition. It is the name for the Competitions that we enter. VEX EDR is the name of the robotics platform that we use and that is not being replaced. What is being replaced is the brain (processor) that runs the robot, the controller (that the drivers use) and the motors, batteries, and ultimately the sensors. You will not need to buy new Cortexes as the Cortex will be phased out. The new robot brain is NOT the Cortex. It is the V5. There will be a 2-3 year time period where the old system (Cortex) and the new sysyem (V5) will co-exist. Eventually, the old system will be completely replaced. This happened before when the original PIC brain was replaced with the Cortex. I don’t mean to sound trollish, but it is easier to comunicate when the proper terminology is being used.
