What type of competition is VEX robotics?

VEX Robotics Competition (VRC) is a robotics competition for registered middle and high school teams which utilizes the VEX V5 Construction and Control System. In this competition, teams design, build, and program robots to compete at tournaments.

What is the best robotics competition?

BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science, and Technology) is a national six-week robotics competition in the United States held each fall, designed to help interest middle school and high school students in possible engineering careers. The games are similar in scale to those of the FIRST Tech Challenge.

How do robotics competitions work?

The FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC®) stages short games played by robots. The robots are designed and built in six weeks (from a common set of parts) by a team of high-school-aged young people and a handful of engineers-Mentors. The students program and remotely control the robots in competition rounds on the field.

What do students learn from the VEX Robotics Competition?

Students, with guidance from their teachers and mentors, build innovative robots and compete year-round. In addition to learning valuable engineering skills, students gain life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, communication, collaboration, project management, and critical thinking.

How many VEX Competitions are there in the world?

VEX competitions, presented by the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation, give students the opportunity to apply their newfound STEM skills in an enthralling game-based engineering challenge. With 20,000 teams competing in over 40 countries, VEX represents the world’s largest and fastest-growing educational robotics competition.

How is tipping point played in VEX Robotics?

VEX Robotics Competition Tipping Point is played on a 12’x12’ square field configured as seen above. Two (2) Alliances – one (1) “red” and one (1) “blue” – composed of two (2) Teams each, compete in matches consisting of a fifteen (15) second Autonomous Period, followed by a one minute and forty-five second (1:45) Driver Controlled Period.

What do you need to know about Vex AI?

VEX AI, VEX GPS, and VEX LINK, and the resulting Sensor Fusion create an opportunity for students to take their autonomous robots a level up! The VEX AI Competition pushes the boundaries of robotics competitions. The game is separate from the VRC and VEX U competitions. Each team brings two robots that they design and build to work as a team.
