My son has this Apitor kit: https://www.amazon.com/Apitor-App-Enabled-Dinosaur-Building-...

It's similar to Vex in that:

- you use a tablet to control the motor(s) using controls (like a remote controller) or code (like Scratch)

- the motors can be connected to different things (e.g. wheels) depending on how you put it together

- it has sensors as well as motors

I think Vex is a bit more modular in some ways. My son's Apitor kit comes with a proximity sensor and a color sensor, but I think with Vex you can choose which sensor(s) to attach to your build.
