help VEX VR FAQ

Can VEXcode VR be used without buying a physical VEX robot?

Yes. Students program a virtual VR Robot inside browser-based playgrounds, so no VEX IQ or VEX V5 hardware is required.

Does the free version of VEXcode VR support Python?

The basic free tier primarily provides block coding, while browser-based Python is offered through enhanced and premium access. VEX also provides a dedicated Python API reference for compatible VEXcode VR projects.

What can students make the VEX VR Robot do?

Challenges include navigating mazes, drawing with a virtual pen, moving objects with an electromagnet, and using sensors to detect walls or colors. Different playgrounds turn those commands into tasks such as Disk Mover and Wall Maze.

Which devices and browsers can run VEXcode VR?

It runs as a web application on Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iPadOS, Android, and Fire OS without a plug-in installation. Supported desktop browsers include Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, although Python and Switch coding are unavailable on tablets.
