First year implementation, so my apologies if I missed something. I am just going through VEX Go certification and cannot get the code base electromagnet to pick up (boost) the circles. I have checked updates and batteries, swapped motors and batteries, restarted all programs, re-coded, re-calibrated multiple times (yes it was plugged in when off). I was just trying to do the test. The disk will stay attached to the electromagnet when touched, but the code program refuses to get the magnet to do it.
How can I fix this so my students won’t get bogged down when it happens?

Resolution- After watching some community videos about wheel slippage, which I was also having, I want back and repositioned my blue, non-motorised wheels, they were off by one place, and tested again. Electromagnet not works, and slipping wheels greatly minimised. Thanks VEX community

I officially finished VEX IQ certification today and am now 123, Go, and IQ certified. Whew. I tried to get to FETC 2025, but it wasn’t in the budget. Implementing VEX K to 8 for 300 kids is definitely a lot of work, but I am motivated. I have 1 significant concern. Being in Canada, I do not have direct alignment to my outcomes with VEX. Do you know of any school divisions that have done this? I contacted Tony Fenos at idesigh360 (Canadian supplier) and he did send me some contacts in Saskatchewan schools but I have not heard back from anyone. I am quite alone here in Saskatchewan and would love to connect.

Congrats on completing all of those certifications! For Canada, I would reach out to Tyler Patriquin. He’s the VEX Sales contact for the area and may know some others in your area working on this kind of an implementation. Good luck!
