I use Vex Robotics in both a curricular and an extra-curricular capacity. We complete one credit/unit in Vex as part of my grade 11 Computer Science class. Here, I treat it more as an Engineering unit rather than worry too much about the coding concepts. In an extra curricular capacity, we compete in the Vex Robotics Competition hosted at NAIT in Edmonton. So far my students have won a number of awards but we have not yet won a birth in the World Championships.
