VEX Robotics



      

      

Vista School has joined the VEX Robotics Competition! This exciting Vex-vrc program extends beyond the classroom to an after-school course that is open to 7th-12th grade students who are interested in coding, engineering, robotics, and having fun and friendly competition. Vista has also started a VEX-IQ Competition for 4-6 grades as a pathway program to VEX-VRC.

The Game:

VEX V5 Robotics Competition High Stakes is played on a 12’ x 12’ square field configured as seen above. Two (2) Alliances – one (1) “red” and one (1) “blue” – composed of two (2) Teams each, compete in matches consisting of a fifteen (15) second Autonomous Period, followed by a one minute and forty-five second (1:45) Driver Controlled Period.The object of the game is to attain a higher score than the opposing Alliance by Scoring Rings on Stakes, Placing Mobile Goals, and by Climbing at the end of the Match.

OUR TEAMS

Vista has 15 VEX Robotics Competition teams for the 2024-2025 school year made up of our students, along with students from other middle and high schools. This year our teams are working hard to qualify for the world VEX Robotics Championships in Dallas Texas.

WHY VEX?

VEX is the largest robotics program for middle and high school teams with over 20,000 teams in over 45 countries. VEX is a STEM focused program that offers students opportunities to work as a team to solve problems and become critical thinkers. Although this program has been in northern Utah since 2008, it wasn’t offered to students in southern Utah until 2018. Vista is working hard to grow the VEX Robotics program in our area. Vista Robotics would like to see VEX become available to all students in southern Utah.

VEX Robotics Competition (VRC) is a high level STEM program that offers students a competitive challenge where students design, build, and program a robot to accomplish different tasks. 

Vista Vex

With more and more schools adopting VEX Robotics as a platform to enrich and enhance science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses, there is a need for an integrated program which allows teachers to seamlessly add VEX into their classrooms. As such Vista is integrating an array of VEX curriculum offerings, each tailored to the specific needs of teachers wishing to incorporate VEX into their classes. These offerings were developed by forward-thinking organizations with years of experience creating the tools to keep STEM education exciting and inspiring.

BUDGET

This mission of the Vista Robotics program is not only to provide opportunities for Vista students, but to promote VEX Robotics in southern Utah. For Vista Robotics to reach more students, we need help from generous individuals and businesses like yours! An average team would spend $3000 to get running.

WHY INVEST?

Every donation to the Vista Robotics program provides opportunities for students that will have an impact for the rest of their lives. These students may become the engineers and scientists of the future. Your sponsorship would help provide more opportunities to students for years to come.
