53 The VEX Robotics Competition offers unique and challenging team-based games that put high school and middle school students' engineering and technology skills to the test. Students, with guidance from teachers and mentors, collaborate to build the most innovative robots possible and work together during competitions to obtain the most points possible. In addition to having a great time and building amazing robots, through their participation in the VEX Robotics Competition and their work within their team, students learn many academic and life skills. Local VEX Robotics competitions are held in many different cities, states and countries. Visit RobotEvents.com to find the date and location of a VEX competition near you. Teams can register online to get an official team number, Team Welcome Kit and register for VEX Robotics Competition events. Top teams from around the world participating in local, regional and national VEX Robotics Competitions will qualify for VEX Robotics international competitions and the VEX Robotics World Championship event held each Spring. For more information about the VEX Robotics Competition and the VEX Robotics Design System, including various animations, videos, pictures and results from past VEX Robotics Competition events, visit VEXROBOTICS.com.
