Teenage goalkeeper Chris Martin had a full debut to forget as Swindon outclassed relegated Port Vale.
The 17-year-old could do little as Lee Peacock opened the scoring when he fired home from 15 yards and Craig Easton doubled the lead from 10 yards.
Jack Smith finished off a flowing move before Antony McNamee smashed in a fourth after a solo run.
Michael Timlin got the fifth before half-time, with substitute Ben Joyce grabbing a late sixth.
