CABOT ROBOTICS WELCOMES YOU
Cabot Robotics is a competitive robotics team at Cabot High School. Our mission is to engage students in the STEM field through the avenue of competitive robotics. The students approach the challenges of the Vex Robotics competition by designing, building, testing, programming, and competing with their robots against other teams around the state and world. We integrate various life skills like documentation, communication, and teamwork within our robotics program.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is VEX?
In the VEX Robotics Competitions (VRC), we design and build a robot to compete against other teams from around the world in a game-based engineering challenge. Classroom STEM concepts are put to the test as we work as a team to accomplish the common task of competing while all specializing in our own areas of expertise. Tournaments are held year-round at the regional, state, and national level, and champions go on to compete against the best in the world at the Global VEX Worlds every April.
I'm new to robotics. Where can I start?
Our team has many different task teams within the main team, and most members can decide to be a part of multiple depending on their own interests. Members can choose to work with the build team, programming team, and the challenge team and learn new things with older members as they go. There are sponsor-backed Online Challenges for VEX teams to demonstrate their skills in topics from CAD Modeling, to Product Photography, to Website Design. No matter your area of expertise or previous experience, we likely have a job for you.
What is competition like?
Teams will compete at various competitions around the state trying to qualify for the state tournament in March. Once at the state tournament, if they get a world qualifying trophy, then they will compete in the Vex Worlds tournament in April. The competitions are done with their robots in a tournament style bracket.
