A few VEX-encoded AVX blending instructions have 4 operands. To accommodate this, VEX has IS4 addressing mode, which encodes 4th operand (a vector register) in bits Imm8[7:4] of the immediate constant. Similar EVEX-encoded blend instructions have their 4th operand in a mask register. No EVEX-encoded instruction uses IS4 addressing mode encoding.
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), formerly known as FIRST Vex Challenge, is a robotics competition for students in grades 7–12 to compete head to head, by designing, building, and programming a robot to compete in an alliance format against other teams.
VEX V5 Robotics Competition (previously VEX EDR, VRC) is for middle and high school students. This is the largest league of the four. VEX Robotics teams have an opportunity to compete annually in the VEX V5 Robotics Competition (V5RC) [3] VEX IQ Robotics Competition is for elementary and middle school students. VEX IQ robotics teams have an ...
AVX-512 introduced 8 mask registers and added VEX-coded instructions to manipulate them. (VEX.B̅ is ignored when the field is used to encode a mask register, but VEX.R̅ and VEX.v̅ 3 are not, and must be set to 1 in 64-bit mode. [5]) AMX introduced 8 tile registers and added VEX-coded instructions to manipulate them. The VEX prefix's initial ...
While VEX Robotics, inc. and the REC Foundation closely collaborate on the VEX Robotics competition, they are separate organizations with their own executive and company structures. The REC Foundation also hosts competitions and programs beyond VEX Robotics, such as the Aerial Drone Competition and the International Robotics Honor Society. [5]
The Lego Mindstorms product line was the first project of "Home Education", a division of Lego Education established by employee Tormod Askildsen in 1995. Askildsen, who had previously spent ten years working for Lego Education, had grown frustrated working with teaching professionals and wanted to create an improved educational experience that was delivered directly towards children.
The kit has a speaker, and can play sound files at sampling rates up to 8 kHz. Power is supplied by 6 AA batteries (1.5 V each) in the consumer version of the kit, and a rechargeable Li-Ion battery in the educational version. The brick is compatible with sensors and motors of its successor Lego Mindstorms EV3. [6]
Hangin'-A-Round was the name of the robotics contest at the 2006-2007 FIRST Vex Challenge (FVC). The contest involved building a robot from a kit that could attain a higher score than the opposition by placing the softballs into the colored goals, possessing the “atlas ball”, and by being parked on the platform or hanging from the bar.
