Storing and Organizing VEX IQ (1st gen) – VEX Library

Open the Super Kit

VEX IQ Super Kit Contents Poster that provides an overview of all of the pieces in a VEX IQ Kit organized into categories.

Locate the following that are included within the Super Kit:
- Super Kit Contents Poster
- Storage Bin
- Tray that fits inside of the Storage Bin
- All Structure, Connectors, Pulleys, Belts, Shafts, Gears, Wheels, Motors, Robot Control, Sensors, and Power-related components

Group the Parts

Connector Pins shown as an example of parts that can be grouped together. 1 by 1, 1 by 2, and 2 by 2 pins are shown.

Use the Super Kit Contents Poster as a guide to group multiples of the same piece together.
Decide which pieces will fit in the Tray and which pieces need to be stored below the Tray.

Organize the Tray

Storage Bin is shown to view the storage tray from above . The tray has compartments to sort pieces into groups, and in this example the pieces are sorted by color and category. For example, the pins are together, the gears are together, and the small beams are together, each in their own compartment.

Use the compartments of the Tray to separate smaller pieces into groups based on their types.

NOTE: There is no wrong way to organize the Tray. Typically, the Tray holds small types of beams, connectors, pulleys, pins, shafts, washers, spacers, bushings, shaft collars, and gears.

Organize the Storage Bin

Storage Bin is shown to view the bin with the tray removed. Under where the tray sits, large pieces like the Controller, Brain, and Beams are neatly placed.

Look at the pieces not included in the Tray and decide how best to arrange them in the bottom of the Storage Bin.
Place all of the remaining pieces in the Storage Bin as neatly as possible.

Assign the Super Kit

Example label that could be attached to a VEX IQ kit to identify it and help organize. The label reads Team 1, Alex, Robin, Kelly.

Assign the Super Kit and label it as appropriate.
Ask users to carry completed robots in the Storage Bin as a safety protocol.
Remember to retain the Super Kit Contents Poster and Tray even if they are not being used.
