See how one robot can change the course of a student’s life

In the VEX Robotics Competition, presented by the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation, teams of students are tasked with designing and building a robot to play against other teams in a game-based engineering challenge. Classroom STEM concepts are put to the test as students learn lifelong skills in teamwork, leadership, communications, and more. Tournaments are held year-round at the regional, state, and national levels and culminate at the VEX Robotics World Championship each April!

VEX focuses on the iterative design, build, and test engineering processes.  The RoboDawgs start VEX in September and it continues to be the primary focus through December.  Some teams will continue to play in January as the state championship is in February and the world championship is in April.

The RoboDawgs believe that every student should have a very hands-on part on each team so team sizes are kept small (3-4 students per team).  The RoboDawgs program includes three separate high school VEX organizations as students enter and participate in the  program through one of those three means.:

244 – Grandville Community Education
248 – Grandville Robotics
288 – Grandville High School

 

 

The VEX 2022-2023  game, Spin Up, was unveiled last May at the 2022 World Championship.  Link to the Game Manual/Rules.
