VEXcode

VEXcode is the language and software that VEX EDR robots are programmed in. VEXcode is a modified version of C++ built for VEX Robotics.

Note: VEX recently renamed their "VEXcode Text" program into "VEXcode Pro". The new "VEXcode Text" is now a drag-and-drop-style programming interface completely different from the original.
