Where Should I Start?
Our club is split into two parts: novice and competitive. Learn more about each one below:
Novice:
In the novice program, members are divided into novice teams - small, beginner teams that build and compete against each other with simpler robots. Novice members spend the first semester of the school year learning about the VEX platform. The second semester is spent on a working competition robot that members can design, build, program, and drive with guidance from the competitive team members. Throughout the year, novice members interact with veteran club members who will work with and mentor teams.
|
Competitive:
The Robotics Club currently competes in tournaments organized by VEX Robotics and constructs robots with VEX parts to compete in games designed by VEX. A new game is put out annually and a new robot must be built every season. We go to multiple local tournaments throughout the year and, in addition, have qualified/competed many times in the California State Championships and the VEX Worlds Championship.
