Want to extend the life of your VEX IQ Brains? You have to get this!

Those that program know that during a single hour of autonomous programming, one can plug and unplug the USB cable to the brain over a hundred times.

> Drive forward 2 rotations then turn;
> plug download run;
> no!!! unplug;
> change to 2.2 rotations;
> plug download run;
> no!!! 

Well you get the point. 

Yes, you can code with your iPad and send the code wirelessly but in my opinion a laptop screen is barely enough to easily navigate and access all the code without constantly dragging and accidentally dropping them into the “INVISIBLE TRASH” zone (where all the code gallery is) and deleting them by accident. Thank goodness to Ctrl+Z (you know, the shortcut for “un-do”) that we can recover it and its not the Veil in the Ministry of Magic behind which Sirius Black was lost forever.

BUT, I can’t believe we haven’t been using this great invention, Magnetic USB cables. Not only it will make your brain last much longer by not risking the integrity of the delicate connection, it will save you soo much time!

Follow this link to check them out. Comes with 3 Micro USB and 3 Type C tips together with 4 cables.

Magnetic USB Cables

Its such a relief to plug and unplug the cable magnetically. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
