VEX Forum Wiki

Over the years several VEX Wikis have been created, maintained, forgotten, and disappeared:

Announcing: VEX Wiki

In an effort to improve and increase the amount of VEX knowledge online, we’re proud to announce the VEX Wiki. Active VEX Forum participants will be allowed to add & edit content where appropriate using their VEX Forum login. One cool feature of the VEX Wiki is the ability to edit your user page and show off any VEX projects you are working on. Once you log into the VEX Wiki, click your username in the upper right corner, and edit that page. (for example, mine is here: https://vexforum.com/w…

VEX Wiki Upgraded & Moved

We’ve upgraded and moved the VEX Wiki to its own standalone MediaWiki install, rather than hooking into the VEX Forum and sharing user accounts. This will allow us to easily and independently upgrade both systems and stay current/secure. All of the old wiki URLs should all redirect from vexforum.com/wiki/ to vexrobotics.com/wiki/ and all content was moved over. If you would like to contribute to the VEX Wiki, and cannot retrieve a password for your account, send an email to [email protected]…

VEX Wiki pages are gone?!?

Hi there - I noticed yesterday that all of the vexrobotics.com/wiki/ pages are now offline?? Google still shows them in search results (try “vex wiki power expander” for example) but when you click on Google’s result (or just click on https://www.vexrobotics.com/wiki/Power_Expander), it rerouts to the vex “batteries & chargers” page (not even the power expander page). When you try to go to the wiki home page, and many other wiki pages (including, say, the cortex wiki page), you get 404: Page no…

Bots 'n' Stuff Website

Hey guys! So a bunch of the forum members got together and built the new Bots ‘n’ Stuff Website! It’s basically a wiki Vex manual. We tried to organize the information in it to be easily accessible to brand new and old teams alike. Basically we created the site because we found that there was no good all-in-one source for teams to find information about building robots. We’re trying to consolidate all the useful information from various blogs, forums (mainly this one), and other sources into …

Vexwiki.org - it's a thing!

The VEX community needs a central, go-to location for knowledge of all things VEX. With the deactivation of the official VEX wiki, there was a void - a void that I’m trying to fill by launching an unofficial VEX wiki: http://www.vexwiki.org/ (http://www.vexwiki.com/ also works) The project can’t be successful without a community of people who are willing to contribute their knowledge and experience to make it a great resource. I certainly can’t do this on my own (not only that, but my experi…

Great Resources for VEX

I’ve found that many people are posting for help, or trying to create new communities, I thought it would be helpful to create a growing list of resources for VEX that ** Anyone ** could add too! The Vex Teams of the World Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/VEXTeamsoftheWorld/ The Bots n Stuff Skype Group: https://vexforum.com/t/bots-n-stuff/23370/1 The VEX Discord Chat: https://vexforum.com/t/new-robotics-chatroom/35674/1 Here’s a non-expiring invite link to the Discord Chat: D…

The key to success might be to have it integrated into the forum system, such that:

• administrative overhead is virtually free

• content and updates are easily visible to forum users,

• and could be linked to, seamlessly and with link-backs from any post,

• as well as the amount of effort for the forum users to start contributing is minimal.

Lets get started by suggesting the topics and categories everyone would like to see created.
