Hi, most of my team is new to vex robotics so I am making them a video explaining common terms and other important aspects for vex robotics. I need to make sure I have the basics. So what should I include?

You should include how to build and when to use certain parts, like when to use kemp nuts and how you use them.

Thank you! I didn’t even think about this.

@KeplerElectronics has done this already, just so ya know :slight_smile: [Building Tips Every Vex Team Should Know] It’s just for building though.

Imo the best way to find all the knowledge you need for your video is to pop over to the vex wiki [image] Wiki VEX V5 General Discussion Vex Forum Index / FAQ / Wiki The purpose of this topic is to make it easier to find vast amounts of knowledge already availa…

Insert shameless plug for the VEX Knowledge Base .

Hey, where the heck is dark mode on vexcode V5? it used to be there, but now it’s gone. I’ve been away’ for like 6 months and everything is different in the software.

In VEXcode Pro V5, select “Preferences” from the “File” menu, and under the last item, “Editor Theme” choose “Dark” (which I believe is the default). VEXcode V5 (non-Pro) does not support dark mode, and as far as I know, never has.

If they are really new then the design process as well as how to create a successful notebook may come in handy.

For context, everyone on my team except me are in my school’s engineering academy.

With this type of broad question, I would recommend performing a search through the Vexforum database of topics. Keywords such as “Beginner” “VEX Basics” and “Tutorial” may help bring some valuable results. Here are some topics to get you started.

Hope that helps, and good luck!
