Getting Started With the VEX AI System

Before the AI System can operate, the AI Challenge Field will need to be assembled.

View the AI Challenge Field Assembly article for more information on how to assemble the field.

There are numerous parts in the VEX AI System. There are enough pieces for two V5 Robots.

For a more detailed explanation of all of the parts and their purpose, view the Parts of the AI System article.

The Jetson is a crucial part of the VEX AI System that runs devices including the FLIR and Intel Cameras. Before the Jetson can be functional, the devices used with it first need to be connected and the Jetson needs to be powered on.

For more information on how to connect devices to the Jetson and power it, view the Connect and Power the Jetson article.

Before the Jetson can function properly, the Intel Dual Band Wi-Fi and Antennas need to be installed.

For more information on installation, view the Install the Intel Dual Band Wi-Fi and Antennas article.

Focusing the FLIR Camera is important to ensure that it sees the Code Strip on the field. This is used to determine the orientation of the robot while on the field. If the FLIR Camera is out of focus, the reported orientation of the robot may not be accurate.

For more information on how to focus the FLIR Camera, view the Focusing the FLIR Camera article.

Accessing the Dashboard of the VEX AI Intel Camera gives you insight into where the robot is on the field as well as what game pieces are in front of it.

For more information on the Dashboard, view the Accessing the Dashboard article.

Updating the VEX AI System ensures that it is running properly.
