DALLAS, TX (NewsDakota.com) – Four elementary VEX IQ Robotics Competition students from Tower City, North Dakota will unite at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center (KBHCC) on May 11th for the VEX IQ Robotics Competition Rapid Relay tournament, presented by the Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation. The action-packed event will feature more than 800 teams who will collaborate with other schools in a series of back-to-back robot challenges, made possible by NASA, Google, TESLA, Amazon, and many more sponsors. Participants strive to succeed by strategically executing the game VEX IQ Robotics Competition Rapid Relay, with robots they designed, built, and programmed using VEX IQ.
VEX IQ Robotics Competition Rapid Relay is one in a series of events taking place throughout the year. VEX Competitions represent the world’s largest and fastest-growing competitive robotics programs for elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and colleges. There are more than 23,000 VEX teams from 58 countries that participate in over 2,300 events worldwide. The competition season culminates each spring with the VEX Robotics World Championship, a highly anticipated event that unites top qualifying teams from local, state, regional, and international VEX IQ Robotics Competition events who strive to secure the title of World Champions.
The VEX IQ Competition serves as a vehicle for students to develop critical life skills, such as teamwork, ingenuity, and project management. These skills are honed through building robots and collaborating with like-minded students from the community.
