About Vex Robotics
VEX Competitions bring STEM skills to use by giving teams of students tasks with designing and building a robot to play against other teams in a game-based engineering challenge. It is the biggest and fastest growing robotics competition in the world, currently with over 16,000 teams competing in over 40 countries.
The VEX Robotics World Championship now holds the Guinness World Record for the largest robotics competition on Earth.
VEX Robotics partners with the Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing student interest and involvement in STEM programs. The REC Foundation manages the VEX IQ Challenge (for elementary school students), the VEX Robotics Competition (for middle-school and high-school students) and VEX U (for University students). This continuum of programs enables students of all ages to use VEX to compete against their peers around the world.
What is a VEX Competition
A VEX competition is an event where the robots play against each other in a match of skill. The robots do not damage each other. There are also "online" and other STEM related projects that the teams of all grades can participate in as well.
