The VEX Robotics competitions and programs are managed by the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (RECF). [1] In April 2018, VEX Robotics Competition was named the largest robotics competition in the world by Guinness World Records. [2] There are four leagues of VEX Robotics competitions designed for different age groups and skill levels:
The Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (REC Foundation or RECF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization best known for managing competitions and programs for the VEX Robotics Competition. [1] Over 1.1 million students have participated in RECF programs around the world.
Half-Pipe Hustle was the first official FIRST Vex Challenge (FVC) game, taking place in 2005–2006. In this challenge, robotics teams built robots from the Vex design kit to compete in competitions across the United States and in other nations, in matches consisting of a 45-second autonomous period, followed by a 2-minute driver control period in which the robots are controlled by team ...
FIRST Tech Challenge was developed for the Vex Robotics Design System, which is available commercially. [14] The 2005 FVC pilot season featured a demonstration of the FIRST Vex Challenge using a 1/3 linear scale mock-up of the 2004 FIRST Robotics Competition, FIRST Frenzy: Raising the Bar.
The kit was significantly upgraded and called the VEX Robotics Design System. In 2004–05, FIRST piloted the FIRST Vex Challenge as a potential program. [2] The pilot season brought together over 130 teams to compete in 6 regional tournaments [citation needed] in a 1/3 scale FIRST Frenzy: Raising the Bar. [3]
Team 1114's 2006-2007 world champion VEX robot made an appearance, as well as their 2008 world champion FRC robot. During the 2010 FIRST Robotics Competition season, FIRST team 3132, Thunder Down Under, was followed by a Macquarie University student film crew to document the first year of FIRST Robotics Competition in Australia.
The Ant is a 6-cm (2.3-inches) long micro robotic insect that has front and rear touch sensors that allow it to maneuver around objects in its path, while its wheel legs enable the robotic ant to move around ten times faster than any previous HEXBUG robot. [4] It was released in April 2009 [5] hexbug_ant.jpg
Robotic competitions have been organized since the 1970s and 1980s. In 1979 a Micromouse competition was organized by the IEEE as shown in the Spectrum magazine. [2]Although it is hard to pinpoint the first robotic competition, two events are well known for their longevity: the All Japan Robot-Sumo Tournament, of Robot-Sumo in Japan, and the Trinity College International Fire Fighting Robot ...
