when are we gonna get the simulator? Would be really helpful now with all the virtual stuffs

I would have to ask the same question again.

Vexcode VR has one. It would be useful. Just at the bare minimum a brain emulator because of UI development. Also why would they transfer the naming scheme. I mean like VEXcode and VEXcode blocks is just fine but VEXcode and VEXcode Pro is confusing. Feels like you would have to pay for VEXcode Pro (please god don’t do this)

Electromagnet is a yet-unreleased device that was developed for a workforce development project with REC Foundation. It’ll pick up and transport plastic disks with metal cores.

No idea on timeline for public consumption as the workforce development hardware is currently in closed beta.

People would figure out a way to magnetize pieces of steel and create custom magnets which would be way stronger and they would pick up all the game pieces in seconds. Also what happens when 2 robots have on of these and then they connect?

they’re electromagnets so they can be turned on and off

so it isn’t going to be a vrc competition product?

14

Well then why would it be in vex pro?

15

it sounds like an educational product intended to be used in a classroom setting with v5, but not in competition.

Project Lead the Way and other programs use VEX, but I’m pretty sure PLTW is the biggest. I think we would be surprised to know how many V5 brains never see the competition field…

Most of the people that use these are classrooms right?
