What is the VEX Project?
The VEX is a challenge for primary schools which allows the children to use their teamwork skills. Over 75 primary and post primary teams participated in last year’s competition. Our robot last year was called
 R2-D2 and it did very well. We are really looking forward to competing this year and seeing how we do.

THE ARENA


Ringmaster is played on a 4’x8’ rectangular field configured as seen above. Two robots compete in the Teamwork Challenge as an alliance in 60 second long teamwork matches, working collaboratively to score points. Teams also compete in the Robot Skills Challenge where one robot takes the field to score as many points as possible. These matches consist of Driving Skills Matches, which will be entirely driver controlled, and Programming Skills Matches, which will be autonomous with limited human interaction.
