This is a great resource to get your VEX EDR classroom or kit organized. Small photos along with names for all of the VEX EDR small parts. I've printed mine then attached to drawers using packing tape. It's in word format so you can resize to fit your storage. It could also be printed for student notebooks or classroom reference poster. I'm not a fancy teacher- It's just the simple parts and names.

These are simple labels I created to help organize my VEX V5 parts. This list has the parts available as of Dec 2018. I will update as they release more parts. This is downloadable as a MS word document so you can scale the images to sizes that fit your containers. It's organized into a table. I'm not a professional TPTer... just trying to save some other some time : )

This is a quick VEX Rubric for grading a uniquely built robot for your class. It incorporates good building practices like 2 points on contact and wire control. I use this after each challenge and grade it with the students as we talk about their robot and design. Format is word document so you can edit as needed.

After several seasons of arguing with my teams about their Engineering notebooks I developed this task list. It includes all of the items and topics needed for your team to produce a winning notebook. I've made this a word document download so you can edit it. It has made a huge difference in the quality of our notebooks and helped my students and myself meet time frames for completing notebook tasks. I usually give each team a copy of this and have them complete it then hang in the classroom

If you need a 15 min time filler in robotics class this is a great worksheet. It has links to 6 robotics videos and reflections for each. You could do the entire worksheet in a 90 min sitting. However I think it's best used as a quick time filler of 15 min. Or watch a few on a day you have to have a sub. Keep the worksheet then hand out again to work on the next video when the time is right. Videos are about the variety of robotics applications in present time and the future.

If your VEX team is part of a class then grading at Tournaments is a must. Here is a quick and simple rubric to score individual based upon tournament results, attitude and organization. Also it includes a rubric for grading individuals who are part of the team but didn't travel to the competition. Files are in word so you can customize to your teams.

This is a basic lecture for Gear Ratios in VEX EDR/V5 . All of my downloads are no frills and no fuss. They are just items I use in class that I'm trying to share with others. This lecture is 24 slides long. It explains how gears work, how to calculate a gear ratio (There are several ways/methods to do this. I teach this in the way I've found my high school students can understand and apply to their robots). Teachers would need a basic understanding of ratios, fraction simplification and gea

Scouting at VEX tournaments is an important part of a successful team. This is one of the scouting sheets our team uses for the current years competition - In the Zone. We are the 2017 VEX Oregon State Champion and would not have been able to achieve this without great scouting. This will download as a fully editable excel spreadsheet.

I got tired of answering the same questions over and over.... so I've started creating "template" items for my VEX robotics classroom. These are 1 page helpers for students. This item is sold by itself and as part of my VEX Helper Template Bundle. I would recommend laminating this and then making an area ( I use a wall hanging basket) to keep all of your templates in so students can answer their own questions. I will be adding to this section as I continue to make more Templates. EVERY studen
