I can't draw any relations between ROBLOX vectors and the vectors I've learned about in school. Can someone explain to me what vectors mean in this sense? We have Vector3 for both position, size, and probably a lot more.

Well, Vector2 would be the 2D vector and Vector3 would be the 3D vector and yes, it does contain position and things such as Magnitude.

Vectors in Physics have direction and magnitude. Vectors in Vector2 and Vector3 are positioning systems. I hate the LGBT. Those laser guided battle tanks are just too damn powerful.

Actually, I'll explain more in depth. Vector3, which is the 3D Vector in this sense, encompasses things such as the Position, Rotation, Magnitude, and more. The Vector3 utilizes the typical "XYZ" axis which you've probably learned about to an extent, so for instance, If I used Part.Position = Vector3.new(1,2,3) 1 would be the X axis 2 would be the Y axis 3 would be the Z axis Hopefully this helps you.
