Purpose:    Middle school students will compete in teams for the VEX V5 Robotics Competition (VRC) multiple times throughout the school year. Competitive robotics isn’t just about building a robot—it’s about learning to approach challenges with confidence, resilience, and teamwork. The same problem-solving mindset that helps you design and refine a VEX robot is the foundation for tackling real-world engineering problems, scientific breakthroughs, and technological innovations. Working together with other people—whether it be your own teammates or someone from another organization—can be challenging, but it’s just as much a part of VRC as building a robot.
