As a parent, it is important that you get your child to the event on time. If a team is not there on time, they may be cut out of the match list for the day. Because match lists are randomly generated and teams work together in alliances, it is important that all teams are there for the entire event. A missing team means their alliance partners wil...
Perhaps the most important thing you need to know as a parent is that these are student led programs. This means that you are there to cheer your child on, not to be in the team’s workspace (called a pit) or give them directions on how to run their matches. Parents are not allowed to shout out directions for what the team needs to do during the mat...
If you are a VEX IQ parent, the game your student will participate in during the 2024-25 season is called Rapid Relay. Visit audience.vex.comto find the basics for scoring and game rules. Looks like fun, right? During a normal tournament day, your student’s team will play between 6-8 qualification matches. Their lowest score will automatically be d...
The 2024-25 season V5RC game is called High Stakes. Visit audience.vex.comto find the basics for scoring and game rules. Alliances are randomly generated and each team will play in an average of 5-8 qualification matches per tournament. Each two-team alliance opposes another two-team alliance during each match. These head-to-head matches start with...
Judged awards are often presented at the end of events. Winners are selected by a team of volunteer judges who evaluate teams’ engineering notebooks and interview the teams. At some events, volunteer judges might have connections to participating teams, but those judges are not allowed to participate in award determinations for which they may have ...
Lastly, remember that each event you attend is put on by volunteers. Volunteers may be teachers, parents, local engineers, high school students, or representatives from local businesses or government. All volunteers are giving up their free time to help, and each of them is doing the best they can. If you see an unmet need or unfilled role, conside...
VEX competitions are also a great way to expose students to valuable soft skills like communication, collaboration and time-management in a fun and authentic way. The VEX Robotics competition prepares students to become future innovators with 95% of participants reporting an increased interest in STEM subject areas and pursuing STEM-related ...
A unique aspect of VEX Robotics is that, yes, you are competing against every other team in the competition, but you must also work with another competitive team, as each game is 2 vs. 2, rather than two robots from the same team. Thus, before competing, it may be worth it to find other local teams around you and meet up with them.

The VEX AI Robotics Competition (VAIRC) uses the VEX V5 platform, non-VEX components, and custom-created parts in combination with VEX GPS, the Sensor Fusion Map, and VEX LINK Communications. VAIRC is played on a 12'x12' V5RC field. During match play, two teams, each with two robots, compete in fully autonomous matches in which robots function ...
