Inspiring students, one robot at a time.
For the first time ever, along with our partners at VEX Robotics, we’re excited to announce that qualified teams and spectators from around the globe will be part of an exciting Remote VEX Robotics World Championship in May, 2021!
This won’t be like any VEX Worlds ever experienced, but will go down in history as the first of its kind.
There are two options for participating in the 2021 Remote VEX Robotics World Championship:
Teams may only participate in one event option (LRT or LRS) and will need to decide which one of these two options is best for their team. Once a team has registered for one of the VEX Worlds events, they may not switch to another event. The team can only be removed from the event and be added to the Wait List for another event.
Teams will experience the newly developed environment to interact with other teams in head-to-head matches similar to an in-person event.
Teams participate in matches during morning or afternoon sessions. Teams indicate their preference by registering for the LRT with the corresponding session name (ie: Morning Division OR Afternoon Division).
Team Size: LRT divisions will include up to 48 teams that are randomly assigned. International teams may be grouped into divisions to accommodate differences in time zones.
Judging: All teams will be eligible to submit their digital engineering notebooks. Judges conduct live interviews with the top teams based on their engineering notebooks to determine the Excellence, Design, and Innovate Award winners.
Equipment needed: Each team will need a computer, a webcam, an Internet connection, and a full field with game elements. Teams may not share any of these items if competing in the same LRT event. VRC teams will also need a USB extender. Carefully review the LRT Team Setup and Instruction documents for detailed equipment requirements.
Teams can highlight their Robot Skills and all teams receive a live remote judged interview.
Team Size: Live Remote Skills (LRS) divisions will include up to 48 teams of a similar skill level.
Judging: All teams will receive a live remote judged interview and be eligible to submit their digital engineering design notebooks in consideration for the judged awards.
Equipment needed: Teams will need a mobile device or computer with a webcam, an Internet connection, and access to a full field with Game Kit. More than one team can use the same field to complete their Robot Skills matches.
Live Remote Tournament Awards: Individual 48-team divisions within each event will receive Judged and Performance Awards.
Live Remote Skills Awards: Individual 48-team divisions within each event will receive Judged and Performance Awards.
