VEX Classroom Lab Kits make it easy to bring the VEX Robotics Design System into the classroom while saving you money. We've put together turn-key bundles of our most popular classroom equipment making it easy to order at a reduced cost. Start with the Classroom Lab Kit, ideal for 2-5 students, then increase the challenge level by adding Expansion Kits for sensors, drive systems and pneumatics. For larger classes, simply add Kits for every additional 2-5 students.
