Tournaments challenge young engineers to design, build, and program robots that perform a number of timed feats, such as lifting, launching, stacking, and flipping a variety of objects. These tasks require students to think critically, employ problem-solving strategies, and collaborate effectively. In addition to the head-to-head competition in tourney matches, students must communicate professionally during judges’ interviews, network with other teams, and present a detailed engineering notebook for inspection.
In its eighth competitive season, the Monmouth VEX Robotics team will compete in the 2025-26 VEX V5 Robotics Competition game, Push Back.
