Naming the Robot

This tutorial walks you through renaming your VEX AIM Coding Robot in VEXcode AIM. By the end, you’ll have given your robot a new name and viewed it both in VEXcode and on the robot.

Make sure your robot is connected to VEXcode. The robot icon will turn green and read Connected once it’s connected.
