Welcome!
Welcome!
Xavier Robotics is an organization of middle school kids that come together for the strategic game that is VEX Robotics we are a competitive group of students determined to use their potential and strive to be their best. We are a positive influence on young and experienced parties, alike. The Xavier VEX Club has been around for 12 years, and has been very successful as we have sent various teams to the state, national, and world-level competitions. We are very competitive, yet we strive to have fun while we are working. Together we are a strong asset to the VEX Robotics community and provide many learning opportunities for preteens and teenagers. We are always looking for willing minds that are always adapting to new challenges.

What is VEX VRC and VEX IQ, and what's the difference?
What is VEX VRC and VEX IQ, and what's the difference?
We have both VEX VRC and VEX IQ at Xavier Middle School. VEX VRC is for our 7th and 8th graders. In this program, students will be using real nuts and bolts, and they will be cutting their own metal parts. During matches, two alliances will go head to head to win the match. Each alliance consists of two teams; for a total of four different teams on the field at a time. VEX VRC promotes integrity and courage in our older students.
Our other program that we offer for students 5th-8th grade is called VEX IQ. Students in this program will be using plastic components to build their robot. During these matches, two teams work together to obtain the highest score possible. Although VEX IQ is open to all of our student body, it mostly consists of the lower grade levels. Unlike VEX VRC, VEX IQ matches make teams work together. This program truly promotes teamwork and togetherness in our younger students.
