What is VEX Workcell?
The VEX V5 Workcell, designed for Career and Technical Education, is a construction system for a 5-axis robotic arm, conveyors and sensors, combined with our proved VEXcode software.
Workcell acts as a primer, introducing students to manufacturing concepts like construction, palletizing, and coordinate planes to empower the manufacturing workforce of the future with a foundation of understanding
Bridging the Gap Between Classroom and Industry
The V5 Workcell together with VEXcode V5 provides students with the opportunity to develop technical and problem solving skills by building and coding a simulated manufacturing workcell.

Factory Automation Competition
Together with the REC Foundation, VEX Robotics is bringing a new level to Career and Technical Education with the Factory Automation Competition. This classroom based competition allows students to connect and apply what they’ve learned through objectives that emulate real industry scenarios.
This competition is completely remote, meaning teams from around the world can compete for the best throughput and runtime from their own classrooms. The FAC also evolves annually so students will be able to reconfigure their Workcell to fit the new objective each year, without the need for new hardware.
The Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation seeks to increase student interest and involvement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by engaging students in hands-on sustainable and affordable curriculum-based robotics engineering programs across the U.S. and internationally.
In addition to operating and supporting competitions for some of the world’s leading robotics platforms and
organizations, including VEX, TSA, and BEST Robotics, the foundation also provides support and workshops focused on technology and professional development for educators. The REC Foundation is a US-registered 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization.
