Controller connection advice needed for a whole class

Does anyone have any “best practices” for when a whole class is trying to connect their VEX IQ Gen 2 robot & controller? Is there anything that works well for your that makes the process more efficient?

Hi @Cristina_Jones! Thanks for your message :slight_smile:

Did you try this in your classroom and experienced issues? If so, I’d love to know what exactly was experienced so we can work on making a process so that it is more efficient.

I would however pre-pair each Controller to the Brain one at a time before distributing the Kits to the students to avoid any issues. Once they are paired once, they will stay paired.

Thanks so much, let me know if this helps!

Pre-pairing them worked well. Other robots I have used, we had to pair them each time we used them.

Thank you!

@Cristina_Jones ah I see, that makes total sense.

Yes, it is super convenient that they will stay paired, so the beginning of each class doesn’t have to be spent re-pairing. :smiley:

Let me know if you need any other help!

I also added a note in this article @Cristina_Jones just so it’s clear that they will remain paired after the initial pairing.

Thanks again!
