Why?

Over my years in robotics I have struggled to self-learn the material. Many times beginners want to take the leap from programming with blocks or python to programming with C++ but fail do to the learning curve and complexity. Advanced programming techniques you learn with vex robotics not only give you a competitive advantage but also they set you up for programming in general. It exposes you to what it's like in the field. Many times I see inexperienced programmers struggling and asking for assistance. I realized there isn't just one comprehensive resource from taking someone from let's say a builder to programmer or both.

I realized after many friends have come to me for assistance I could be the one to make first full comprehensive course. This course will take you from anywhere in your robotics journy to an experienced programmer; a programmer that understands the underlying mechanisms and mathematics. A programmer that will save the day when things go wrong and a programmer that will win competitions.

What You'll Learn

  • C++ Programming Fundamentals - Variables, data types, control structures, and object-oriented programming basics
  • Development Environment Setup - PROS installation, project structure, and VS Code configuration
  • VEX V5 Hardware Essentials - Understanding brain, motors, sensors, and proper wiring techniques
  • Control Algorithms - Implementing PID controllers, tuning techniques, and sensor feedback integration
  • Odometry & Position Tracking - Mathematical foundations, encoder-based tracking, and coordinate systems
  • Robot Subsystems - Drivetrain programming and mechanism control implementation
  • Autonomous Programming - Path planning with odometry and state machine implementation
  • Hands-on Projects - Real-world challenges to cement your learning

Who This Is For

This course is designed to take a beginner and turn them into a professional. But it doesn't matter if you've been programming for vex for years. This course is a great refresher on the finer details. If you want to go above and beyond and program custom selectors, custom PID or odometry, or whatever else this course is perfect for covering all areas not often talked about.

What Makes This Different?

We're not just giving you code — we're teaching you how to understand it. You'll learn how and why things work, not just how to copy and paste. Unlike scattered tutorials and forum posts, this course provides a structured, progressive learning path that builds your skills from the ground up. We break down complex mathematical concepts into digestible explanations, pair theory with immediate hands-on application, and focus on real competition scenarios you'll face. Our approach emphasizes problem-solving skills that transfer across programming challenges, teaching you to think like an engineer rather than just a coder. And when things go wrong (as they inevitably do in robotics), you'll have the debugging skills and deep understanding to diagnose and fix issues independently.
