EDIT: EasyC for VEX is significantly more limited than EasyC for FRC/Easyc Pro. This applies to EasyC Pro in Vex mode also.

If you really want to test the limits of EasyC for FRC applications then you really need to use a full size robot.

EDIT again: The VEX programming kit includes a USB>serial cable, VEX programmer(hardware), programmer>VEX cable, and EasyC.

easyCPro for VEX has 100% the same feature set as for FRC.

Joe, I would recommend starting with the getting started guide in the help file. There are 12 step-by-step tutorials that should get you going programming your VEX robot. Also, we gave out one free copy of easyCPro to all the FRC teams if your team didn't use it you can use that to program with your VEX robot.
