3 USING VEX IQ HARDWARE The VEX IQ platform kits provide easy, fun, and accessible tools to learn all four legs of STEM, no matter what your learning needs and desires may be. This curriculum unit lesson will familiarize you with the kit hardware and the VEX IQ Controller or Robot Brain. One of the best overall features of the VEX IQ hardware is its flexibility. If you can imagine it, you can build it with VEX IQ. The system allows for building of non-powered models, powered mechanisms and machines, as well as full-blown tele-operated and autonomous robots. Lesson Purpose: The purpose of this unit is to introduce students to the VEX IQ platform hardware, controller, robot brain, and to understand each item’s function.

6 LESSON 2 STARTER Task 1: Can you find the components?
Learning objective: Be able to recognize VEX IQ hardware parts and components visually. Learn more about the VEX IQ platform. Develop a knowledge about the robot brain. Task 1: Can you find the components? Open up your VEXIQ box and take out your hardware. Can you match the components with their picture. Learning Objectives: Students will be exposed to key resources that aid in working with the VEX IQ platform. Students will learn hardware, Controller, and Robot Brain functions. Students will pair their Controller with the Robot Brain. Students will be able to recognise VEX IQ hardware parts and components visually.

7 LESSON 2 STARTER Task 2: Matching Exercise?
Fill in the missing gaps on your worksheet by using picking words from the word bank at the top of the page that match the pictures.

8 HARDWARE Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to recognise VEX IQ hardware parts and components visually.

9 STRUCTUAL PARTS AND HARDWARE
Learning Objectives: Students will be able to recognise VEX IQ hardware parts and components visually.

10 LESSON 2 STARTER Task 3: It’s Your Future Matching Exercise
Fill in the missing gaps on your worksheet by using picking words from the word bank at the top of the page. Your teacher will take you through the worksheet in order top to bottom, so when you hear some information that is missing, put it in! Word Bank: Specialty Beam Beam Connector Pin Controller Corner Connector Gear Plate Pulley Radio Robot Brain Rubber Band Anchor Rubber Belt Rubber Shaft Collar Shaft Shaft Bushing Smart Motor Standoff Standoff Connector Tire Wheel Hub

11 LESSON 2 STARTER Task 4: Pairing the Controller with the Robot brain
Initial Wireless Setup Items you will need: Robot Brain with Radio and Robot Battery installed VEX Controller with Radio and Controller Battery installed Tether Cable P/N: In order for the Robot Brain and Controller to communicate wirelessly, they must be paired together. Before pairing these devices together, a radio and battery must be installed into each of them. With both devices OFF, connect the Robot Brain to the Controller using the Tether Cable. Now follow the rest of the instructions in the hand-out to pair up the controller and brain

12 LESSON 2 PLENARY As a class, let us consider the following questions? A. Can you name some of the main Hardware components? B. How do we Tether the Controller to the Robot Brain? C. Why do we Tether the Controller and Robot Brain? D. What are the lights on the Controller and Robot brain for?

13 SUMMARY Today you have:
Learning objective: Be able to recognize VEX IQ hardware parts and components visually. Learn more about the VEX IQ platform. Develop a knowledge about the robot brain. Today you have: Been able to recognize VEX IQ hardware parts and components visually. Learnt hardware functions Learnt how to pair your Controller with the Robot Brain
