Has anybody realized what the definition of Vex is?
Neither VEX nor EDR are acronyms or have some official dictionary definition, theyâre brand names, like Pepsi is just a brand name.
defenition of vex - make someone feel annoyed, frustrated, or worried, especially with trivial matters.
Really? EDR doesnât stand for anything? I thought it was an acronym for âeducation design & roboticsâ or something like that. Why have three random letters that donât spell anything you can pronounce? They might as well call it âVEX QMFâ or something.
EDR: Enterprise data replication (EDR) is the process of copying or moving enterprise data from one storage system to another. ⌠In contrast, EDR tools work with multiple sources of data and types of databases in a heterogeneous environment.
And VEX Terms for EDR: Engineering Design and Robotics (Not Education Design and Robotics, as what I heard)
I think VEX is just the name of the company⌠But the word âVexâ means to make someone feel annoyed, frustrated, or worried, especially with trivial matters.
Thanks, that clears things up. (for me anyways)
EDR might have been created from an acronym, and might have originally had a meaning (which is what at seems like), but at the moment officially it has no definition.
See the post from VEX Support: What does EDR stand for? - General Forum - VEX Forum
Ya I looked and found a lot of old things referencing it standing for educational robotics so I assumed they changed it officially.
VEX was picked by a marketing team at Radio Shack, back at the dawn of time.
EDR is EDucational Robotics. Itâs kind of slurred initialization.
Trivia: An acronym is a word made up from the first letters of words in a phrase. NASA, radar (originally RADAR) and OSHA are acronyms, but FBI, IRS, and RPM are not. On the other hand, all alphabet soup has been called acronyms for so long that the difference is now lost. (FBI, IRS and RPM are technically âinitialisms.â)
I am so sorry about that, I literally emailed someone and they said Engineering Design and Robotics⌠Oops, I shouldâve made sure I was more correct and did more researchâŚ
Itâs possible that VEX has now decided that EDR means âEngineering Design and Robotics.â It was years ago when I asked a VEX manager the question, and he told me âEducational Robotics.â
Okay, hereâs the final âinputâ after researching more on the forum⌠It doesnât have a meaning, as quoted from the VEX Support on What does EDR stand for? - General Forum - VEX Forum :
