Just came across a post talking about how to control a Vex Cortex with a computer. It may not be exactly what you want, however, it provides a way to integrate the whole system together.
Our VEXnet system is built with the idea of controlling a robot with a
combination of pre-loaded autonomous code and driver control with the
use of a transmitter (joystick), not from a computer.
However if you use easyC V4 software to program the cortex, you will
have an option available that will allow you to control your robot or
motors directly from your PC. The function is called "On-Line Window"
and it will allow you to control up to ten motors in different speeds,
as you will be able to do all this from a computer without the need of
applying input into the transmitter (robotics teams use this function to
troubleshoot motor ports). Also it will be wireless.
Here is a link where you can download a free version for easyC V4: http://www.intelitekdownloads.com/easyCV4/
Also it doesn't matter if you use an old cortex, it will do the same function.
The system requirements for easyC V4 is:
