VEX Robotics is a worldwide robotics competition. VEX Robotics has been recognized by Guinness to be the worlds largest robotics competition. It's a competition between elementary through university students. All games are played on a 12 ft by 12 ft foam grid. There has been a total of 13 games so far going into 2020. All games are different consisting of a whole different plot to develop your robot to.
