210 Robotics

Competition engineering

VEX U, at full speed.

A student-run engineering program where strategy becomes CAD, CAD becomes hardware, and hardware has to perform under pressure.

The work

A full engineering lifecycle.

Members learn to navigate requirements, concept selection, prototype evidence, integration, controls, autonomous behavior, reliability, and driver practice.

01

Mechanical systems

CAD, fabrication, assembly, testing, serviceability, and spares.

02

Controls and autonomy

Sensors, electrical architecture, motion control, software, and autonomous routines.

03

Strategy and operations

Game analysis, scouting, logistics, documentation, and competition execution.

2026–27 build plan

Eight gates. One competition-ready system.

JUL / 01

Concept architecture

Compare complete robot concepts and lock the engineering stack.

SEP / 02

Mechanism prototypes

Test scoring, intake, sensing, and control systems independently.

OCT / 03

Alpha robot

Deliver the first integrated machine that drives, intakes, and scores.

JAN / 04

Competition robot

Complete a legal, reliable robot with autonomous routines and spares.

MAR / 05
