VEX Robotics

The VEX Robotics app is designed to support teams participating in the VEX Robotics Competition, a program that combines science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education with competitive robotics. The platform provides access to resources and tools that help teams design, build, and compete with their robots. Key features include access to game manuals, rules, and updates for the current competition season, ensuring teams stay informed about game objectives and regulations.

One of the primary benefits of the VEX Robotics platform is its ability to foster collaboration and innovation among team members. By utilizing tools like CAD software, teams can digitally design and test their robots before physical construction, enhancing their problem-solving skills and creativity. The platform also supports the VEX V5 system, allowing teams to build robots that meet specific competition requirements, such as size constraints and component usage.

The VEX Robotics Competition itself is structured around head-to-head matches, where alliances of teams compete to score points by completing tasks like scoring rings on stakes and climbing ladders. The competition includes both autonomous and driver-controlled periods, testing robots' ability to operate independently and under human control. By participating in these competitions, students develop valuable skills in robotics, engineering, and teamwork, preparing them for careers in STEM fields.
