  2. A little about me… JashJaveri 5 years – FRC/VEX Experience Team 1241 - THEORY6 Robotics 1241A, 1241Q, 1241X, RYEU Studying Aerospace Engineering at Ryerson University (2nd Year)

  3. Introduction • Great opportunity for middle school, high school and post secondary students. (Full cycle) • Science, Technology Engineering & Math (STEM) experience. • Hands on & realistic approach to learning. • Soft skills: teamwork, leadership, problem- solving.

  4. History of VEX • Created by Innovation FIRST in 1996. • Originally produced electronics for autonomous mobile ground robots. • Leader in educational and competitive robot products. • Several companies: VEX Robotics Inc., Racksolutions Inc., Innovation FIRST Labs Inc.

  5. How does it work? • Pre-made modifiable parts. • VEX Robotics releases a new game every year at the World Championship. • Teams are responsible for designing, creating, programming and evaluating every other aspect involved. • Attend various regionals to compete. Winners and certain awards qualify for World Championship.

  6. Regionals • Teams attend various regionals to compete with other local teams. • Play a certain number of qualification matches with random partners. • Top 8 at the end of QM, get to be “Alliance Captains”, who get to pick their own partners for the Elimination Rounds. • Robot & Programming Skills Challenges.

  7. The VEX Game • All games are played on a 12”x12” field. • Each match features 4 robots, two on each alliance of blue & red. • Match consists of autonomous and teleoperated match plays. • Human interaction is usually allowed during teleoperated periods specific to each game.

  8. Clean Sweep (09-10)

  9. Round Up (10-11)

  10. Gateway (11-12)

  11. Toss Up (13-14)

  12. VEX Robot Chassis

  13. VEX Robot Arm

  14. World Championships • Consists of high school teams split across 5 divisions: Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Arts. There are also 100 middle schools ad 50 college/university teams. • Teams play in QF matches to establish ranking, which is followed by an alliance selection and elimination matches. • The final winner of the elimination matches in each division move onto the final stage to play a 5 alliance round robin. The two top ranked teams play in a best of three match final. • Previously held in Greenville, Dallas, Florida and Anaheim

  15. Entrepreneurship Aspect • Each VEX team = Enterprise • Several administrative tasks become key in being a successful team • Project Management • Accounts, budget, sponsorship • Media outreach: Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Website • Community Involvement - Networking

  16. VEX IQ • Geared toward younger students (8-14 years of age) • Parts are all put into place by snapping the pieces together • Different ways to play the game • Teamwork • Driver • Autonomous
