The Factory Automation Competition (FAC) is a classroom-based competition that provides students with essential and desirable foundational skills needed for today's advanced manufacturing careers. Students progress from education to workforce and beyond by engaging in hands-on curriculum using the VEX V5 Workcell.
The Factory Automation Competition game, Pack and Ship, is a classroom-based competition where teams will compete to achieve the best Throughput and Run Time at different Competition Phases. Students design, build, and program a manufacturing Workcell to complete the Competition Phase.
