So I was really lucky and got asked to show the VEX Skateboard at NY Maker Faire. Over 1000 people had a go. The weather was awesome (24 degrees), it was huge. It was epic!!
I recommend to everyone to visit a Maker Faire, so much cool stuff. Please check out my Album : New York Maker Faire
Trying out the VEXIQ stuff for building human moving vehicles. Very impressed with the power the motors give out. This is using only 2 brains / batteries powering 16 motors!
So I have been very lucky and been sent some VEX IQ Robotics sets including the HEXBUG 4-1 Set to have a play with. Here are a couple of videos I have done on VEX
I have really enjoyed messing around with VEX and hope to continue using it. I have plans to do my usual and build something huge using VEX IQ and compare it to LEGO MINDSTORMS. It will be very interesting to see how it compares.
If you’re looking to get some of the coolest wheels available on the market today, then go check out the Rotacaster Omniwheels. They’re currently having a sale on their website with a 15% discount.

These are the wheels that I used to create the LEGO Wheelchair and the LEGO ATV. They rock!
So, last week I was sent the VEX IQ Robotic set + expansion sets to try out and play with. I hope to do some reviews on what I discover!
