96 teams came to Akron, to find out who is the best in the vex robotics state championship.
VEX Robotics makes educational robotics for students from pre-K through high school. Each year a different game is created to put team’s robot building skills to the test. This is stem “problem solving” disguised as competitive fun, in an arena where failure is rewarded.
“The faster you fail, the more efficient you become at playing the different games that they come out every year because you learn what works and what doesn't work,” said Drew Roberson, junior at Elyria High School.
“The skills that this platform gives you allows them to be prepared for whatever they are going to go into in the future,” said Rob Smith, a sales manager for VEX Robotics, Inc.
This year students are playing “Spin Up”. A head-to-head game where robots toss small discs into goals. Throughout the match there are additional way to score.
“This just has to be probably one of our hardest tournaments just because it's from the best of the best all over the state,” said Roberson. “And everyone has fought hard to get into this tournament because they know it can get you to the next level.”
