Engineering 101: V5 Smart Motors Explained

In this Live Session, Matt dives into the characteristics of the VEX V5 Smart Motors - both the 5.5W and the 11W variants. The purpose of this session is to illuminate the key differences between these motors and how they translate into practical applications for different VEX builds. Drawing from real-world engineering principles, Matt explains how these motors can impact build designs in terms of power distribution, size constraints, and performance within the VEX Robotics Competition’s 88W power limit. The concepts covered in this session can help you to gain a deeper understanding of choosing the right motor for your build’s needs and maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness in your robot design strategy.
