VEX Robotics Competiton

Has anyone heard of this?

By all accounts it's pretty popular with the high school kids at the school I'm going to be judging at.

I wish I'd had this opportunity and class back in high school!

My youngest loves VEX, he took part in the State Championships last year when he was in 7th grade. Most of the schools at State were high school, but his school took the top 5 championship places. He placed 3rd for his programming. Hope it's same again this year.

Yes, it's a great programme. I'd not come across anything similar in the UK
