Due to Google’s upcoming discontinuation of Chrome Apps on Chromebooks in January 2025, VEX Robotics has developed web-based versions of VEXcode IQ and VEXcode V5 to replace the app-based versions.
This change ensures that users can continue accessing the full functionality of VEXcode without interruption. The transition involves manually connecting devices, such as the IQ Brain and Controller, and learning new ways to manage projects and firmware updates within the web-based environment. Although the change may seem daunting, VEX Robotics provides comprehensive guides to facilitate a smooth transition, helping educators and students maintain their programming and robotics activities with minimal disruption. The web-based VEXcode retains all the capabilities of the app-based version, making this shift a necessary but straightforward adjustment for Chromebook users.
