Products to Support the TSA VEX Robotics Competition

Applied Technologies is an Official VEX Partner, Official VEX-TSA Program Supplier, and a long-time TSA (Technology Student Association) supporter.  We can sell you any VEX Robotics kit and component for the same price as the manufacturer, plus, we're here to support you locally by helping you host and/or participate in official VEX Events.  Several starter bundles  and classroom lab kits are listed below.

Also, we have the Robotics Engineering CPU (Career Pathway Unit) - 15-activity hands-on introductory unit.

Starter Bundles

Starter bundleVEX Robot Starter Bundles are a great place to start when beginning with the VEX Robotics Design System. The Protobot Robot Kit, included in each Robot Starter Bundle choice, provides the perfect foundation for any robotics experience. Follow step-by-step instructions to build the VEX Protobot or VEX Tumbler, or use the 300+ included parts to design your own VEX Robotic creations.

Robot Starter Bundles come in three different configurations: Radio Control, Autonomous Control and Dual Control. With Radio Control, motors connect directly to the 75 MHz Signal Splitter and are controlled using the 75 MHz Transmitter. No programming is required. The Autonomous Control Bundle includes a microcontroller and the robot is operated only using pre-programmed commands. The Dual Control Starter Bundle includes both a microcontroller and a control system, allowing for a combination of programmed commands and user input to control the robot.

When purchasing the Autonomous Control or Dual Control Starter Bundle, you have the choice between the our basic PIC Microcontroller or the more advanced and powerful Cortex Microcontroller. Each bundle's control features are compared below. Choose the bundle that best fits your needs.

Classroom Lab Kits

VEX Classroom Lab Kits make it easy to bring the VEX Robotics Design System into the classroom while saving you money. We've put together turn-key bundles of our most popular classroom equipment making it easy to order at a reduced cost. Start with the Classroom Lab Kit, ideal for 2-5 students, then increase the challenge level by adding Expansion Kits for sensors, drive systems and pneumatics. For larger classes, simply add Kits for every additional 2-5 students.

Classroom Lab Kits include everything you need to design, build, power and operate robots. You have the choice between our basic PIC Microcontroller or the advanced and more powerful Cortex Microcontroller. Increase the challenge level by adding expansion kits for advanced sensors, drive systems and pneumatics. For larger classes, simply add kits for every additional two to five students.
