Frequently Asked Questions
What is VEX ROBOTICS COMPETITION (VRC EDR)? In collaboration with the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (RECF), VEX Robotics is a student-driven program that teaches leadership, collaborative teamwork, creative problem-solving, and technological advancement through the engineering design process throughout the world. VEX manufactures the parts and issues a yearly challenge for which students conceptualize, build-from-scratch, program, and operate robots to complete designated tasks through various level competitions year-round.
When are teams selected?
Team members are tentatively placed on temporary teams in May and will then undergo an evaluation process during the month of June to determine team viability.
