We are an afterschool VEX Robotics Club. We have about 20 members from 7th to 12th grade. Currently, we have six teams (three high school & three middle school).

Vex Robotics is a robotics program where students can come together to build robots. Each year, Vex Robotics releases a new problem and Vex teams must perform various tasks to gain points. During this time, students come together to design, build and program robots to complete these tasks. Additionally, once Vex Robotics has released a problem, students can expect to meet twice a week. They also are able to do robotics work in their free time.

VEX Robotics is a platform to enrich and enhance science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) Activities. We are a VEX Competition team. We have been VEX Robotics STATE Champions for five years. We have been to WORLDS five times since the beginning of the program.
