V5 Brain and Power

Everything starts with the V5 Robot Brain. Students and teachers can now run programs, troubleshoot their robot and get important feedback in real-time. Smart Ports automatically detect the type of connected device and handle motors and sensors interchangeably.

The V5 Robot Battery is the next evolution of the VEX EDR NiMh Battery, which will provide you consistent performance every time you power up your robot. This Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery is equipped with circuitry and control to allow for higher sustained power and more reliable function. The V5 System as a whole is designed to produce identical motor performance at any battery charge level. This means that the same battery can be used for multiple competition matches or class periods before needing to be recharged. LiFePO4batteries are proven to offer longer life cycles, and are safer than Lithium Ion batteries.

• Built-in charge indicator lights

• Charge time is approximately one hour

Battery run time depends on many factors including your robot design, your driving, and the number of motors used. Robots' often get 15+ minutes of heavy drive time from a single charge

Charge your battery quickly with the V5 Robot Battery Charger. Your V5 Robot Battery can be fully recharged in under 60 minutes.

An assortment of spare V5 Robot Power Cables. This cable connects the V5 Robot Brain to the V5 Robot Battery Li-Ion 1100mAh. Cables come in three sizes:

• 180 mm

• 300 mm

• 500 mm

V5 Smart Cables are used to connect the V5 Robot Brain to V5 Radio, V5 Motor, Vision Sensor, and other smart devices. V5 Smart Cables can also be used to tether a V5 Robot Brain to a V5 Controller, and to connect a V5 Controller to a second Controller for partnered driving.

The V5 Smart Motor is more than twice as powerful as the 2-Wire Motor 393, and puts an integrated encoder and a motor controller into one compact package. Customize speed and torque with interchangeable gear cartridges.

Use the built-in encoder to track a robot's rotational position and velocity

Ships with the standard gear cartridge of 18:1 (200 RPM)
