What is VEX?
The VEX Robotics Competition, in partnership with the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (RECF), is a global, student-driven program that teaches STEM concepts through hands-on experience in leadership, teamwork, creative problem-solving, and engineering. Each year, VEX issues a new challenge and provides the parts students use to design, build, and program their own robots from scratch. Teams then compete at various levels throughout the year, applying the engineering design process to complete tasks and continually refine their creations.
