Aloha!

VEX

Versatile, affordable and accessible, the VEX Educational Robotics Design System is an ideal platform for student robotic competitions.  Beginning builders can design, assemble and quickly iterate their robots through trial and error.  Advanced builders can utilize sphisticated programming capabilities to power highly intelligent bots.

VEX is a unique and challenging team-based game that will put high school and middle school students' engineering and technology skills to the test.  Students, with guidance from their teachers and mentors will aim to build the most innovative robots possible and work together to obtain the most points possible.  In addition to just having a great time and building amazing robots, through their participation in the VEX Robotics Competition and their work within their team, students will learn many academic and life skills.
