Vex iq 2025-2026 mix and match

Hey -

Yeah, this robot uses differential swerve drive on the front. The robot was made for a trade show demonstration, and we decided that swerve might be a cool thing to show off. It was subsequently modified to demonstrate IQ Pneumatics for that video.

I can’t find this robot in the office right now (it might still be packed away with trade show stuff in the warehouse…), but I have another robot that uses similar differential modules. Its modeled after the 2023 FRC 148 Robot that a few of the VEX Engineers helped with as coaches on the team.

Swerve modules & both robots were designed and built by a former VEX Engineer, Noah Agnew (@N0ah , but I doubt he’ll see this :stuck_out_tongue: ). Everything on the robot, including drivetrain, elevator, elevator pivot works. There is not an intake/end effector mounted, but power is run to the end of the arm for whenever its done.

One day I’ll finish the end effector on it, and maybe print out some scale game pieces for it to play with…

Here are a few pictures of those modules & the robot:
