3 COMPETITIONS Game Challenge Matches IN VALUES EVENTS Multiple robots compete with other robots to score as many points as possible. Driver's Skills Challenge Matches Are entirely driver controlled, building problem solving, critical thinking and teamwork skills. Programming Skills Challenge One robot takes the field to score as many points as possible during an autonomous round with limited human interaction.
WHY ROBOTICS Educators report that 4 out 5 students are more aware of STEM careers after participating in VEX Competitions. Nine out of 10 students express interest in pursuing STEM careers after participating in the VEX Robotics Competition. 96% VEX Competition participants exhibit workforce skills such as patience, persistence, and collaboration.
