Course Details

Robots make computer science come to life with real-world applications, and today you do not need a physical robot to learn all about them! Instead, you can learn using a virtual robot on VEXcode VR, a platform developed by the organizers of the world's largest robotics competition, VEX Robotics. In the second course of this track, you will code a VEX robot using a block-based coding language and see it execute that code in a virtual 3D environment. You will make the robot pick up colored disks, navigate the walls of a complex maze, knock out a large tower, and find objects using color sensors. You will also learn about how robots work and interact with the world through a series of mechanical systems and sensors.
