VEX Robotics

VEX Robotics operates global STEM education programs through three core competition platforms: VEX IQ Challenge, VEX Robotics Competition (VRC), and VEX U. The organization's flagship event, the VEX Robotics World Championship, brings together qualifying teams from participating regions to compete in robot design and autonomous programming challenges. Teams develop custom robots using standardized VEX hardware components while adhering to annual game specifications and technical requirements. The V5 System serves as VEX's primary educational robotics platform, integrating the V5 Robot Brain controller with Smart Motors and VEXcode programming software. RobotEvents.com functions as the central digital infrastructure for competition management, event registration, and official results documentation. Technical documentation, competition rules, and curriculum resources are distributed through this platform to support program implementation. VEX competition events focus on three key technical domains: mechanical engineering through robot construction, computer science via autonomous programming, and systems integration through testing and iteration. Regional qualifying tournaments feed into state/provincial championships, leading to World Championship eligibility based on competition performance and judged awards. The organization maintains partnerships with educational institutions and STEM organizations to facilitate program delivery across elementary, secondary, and university levels.
