VEX Robotics Programming

There are several options available for programming the VEX Robotics Design System. This page will give you some of the tools, and point you in the right direction so you can get started programming a VEX Competition Robot.

To utilize the VEX Robotics Design system without Autonomous Programming or robot sensors, there is no extra software required. The system works fine "out of the box" for general robot operation. It will also work with the VEX Field Controller "out of the box".

However, to use the system with sensor interaction, custom programs are required. Furthermore, when programming a VEX Robot for autonomous competition, extra software files are required to ensure the proper transition between "autonomous mode" and "operator control mode" during each match.
