The scoring objects in VEX IQ Robotics Competition Level Up are 3" x 4" Bean Bags.
The primary objectives of the game is to score Bean Bags into Goals. Higher Goals earn more points. A Robot can only carry one Bean Bag at a time, and most Bean Bags have to travel across the entire Field to reach their Goals.
Teams have to devide whether to drive a long path or design their Robot to fit through the narrow shortcuts on the Field.

FGRC's goal is to teach students how to work through the Engineering Design Process with a more in-depth project than what regular class time permits.
FGRC is a member of the VEX IQ Competition Series. Student teams (anywhere from 4 - 6 students) meet at least once a week to work on planning, collaborating, building, coding, trialing---and failing---different iterations of their robot. We work with the goal of successfully earning points in the annual game put out by VEX Robotics.
