The VEX IQ Challenge is an annual robotics competition designed for elementary and middle school students. Participants build and program robots using the VEX IQ platform, which includes a variety of sensors, motors, and structural components. The challenge encourages teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity as students work to complete specific tasks in a competitive environment. Each year, the challenge features a unique game with specific rules and objectives. Teams compete in matches where their robots must perform tasks such as scoring points, moving objects, or navigating obstacles. The VEX Robotics organization provides resources and support to help teams prepare for the competition.
