Our Team |
Our Sponsorships |
Our team is comprised of 12 to 14 year olds; two girls and six boys. The most interesting fact about our team is that we all come from different schools. Yet, we still got to know each other very well. None of us have ever competed in VEX IQ before and are very excited to be a part of the enthusiastic community! We meet at an after school organization called E-bots. We meet for around eight hours a week. We all love tackling challenges and learning new things. After long and hard hours of work, we won the Excellence award and both the regional and provincial competitions, in addition to other awards. We are also proud to say that we currently hold the world record for the autonomous robot challenge. We know that T-E-A-M: Together Everyone Achieves More. While we still divided the work to be more efficient, we came together collaboratively to get the job done.
We know that it is not what we win, but rather the journey that takes us there. We have already learned so much and are excited to learn so much more. Overall, our team has had an amazing experience! We look forward to using the skills, such as time management and organization, outside of VEX IQ. |

I joined VEX IQ because I wanted to learn more about the new platform of robotics. I have previous experience from First Lego League, so I already have interest and motivation in it. VEX IQ looked very interesting and I wanted a to try it out. Also, because of the shared programming software between VEX IQ and VEX, I wanted to get used to it and learn more about it for later years on the Vex platform. |
