Flex, this year's Hero Bot, is a ready-to-build robot designed as a starting foundation for competition teams for the V5 Robotics Competition Override game. It gives new teams a reliable, competition-ready starting point so they can participate in matches while learning to design and build their own robots. The build instructions walk through assembling the Hero Bot step by step.
