Six Degrees of Freedom
The robot arm both visually and functionally replicates a real industrial robot arm. The arm's six different rotational joints allow students to freely manipulate the end effector within the arm's workspace.
Arm maximum reach: 33 cm
Platform size: 63,5x33 cm
Layout Optimization
Plan and then reconfigure a realistic industrial conveyor system to optimize factory throughput. Utilize linear and serpentine conveyors and connect multiple Workcells to create interactions between distribution systems.

Manufacturing, Made Teachable
VEX CTE Workcell turns complex factory workflows into hands-on lessons students can actually run. Build and code a working cell featuring a 6-axis arm, conveyors, pneumatics, and sensors, then teach the fundamentals of modern manufacturing, such as coordinate planes, palletizing, sorting, and material flow - using guided courses and VEXcode. It’s the shortest path from “What is a workcell?” to “Watch this one work.”
Curriculum Overview Teach with VEX CTE
From First Program to First Production Run
Structured courses, ready-to-teach resources, coding, and CAD downloads, so you can start fast and scale learning.
Bring industry-aligned tasks to the lab without the guesswork. Two sequenced courses: Introduction to the 6-Axis Arm and Workcell Automation that walk learners from safe operation and motion control to sorting, pallet loading, and logistics challenges. STEM Labs, educator guides, and CAD files back you up, part of the VEX Continuum of K–12 learning tools.
