There are a number of different ways to program the VEX microcontroller.

== MPLabs ==

[http://www.microchip.com MicroChip] gives away to students and sells the [http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en019469&part=SW007002 MPLabs IDE]. The IDE supports programming in both C and assembly.

== Easy-C ==
[http://www.intelitekdownloads.com/easyCV2/ Easy-C] and Easy-C Pro is the best drag and drop VEX programming tool out there. It allows beginning roboteers to drag motors, sensors and transmitters to the code stream. There is a pretty decent interactive debugger.

== RobotC ==
In 2008 [http://www.robotc.net/ RobotC] was released. It is positioned between the MPLab compiler and the drag and drop of Easy-C. The advantage of RobotC is the interactive debugger. It's far more detailed and has more features than Easy-C.

RobotC also works with the Lego Mindstorms system.

== WPILibrary ==
At the center of Easy-C is a linkable library that can be used to do robot functions. The library makes the MPLabs C compiler easier to develop code with.
