We will have a few classes for continuing High School students. These are primarily for VRC rookies who want to improve their skills for next year.
Introduction to CAD for VRC
Beginning Computer Aided Design (CAD) will introduce students to Computer Aided Design. Students will learn how to use the CAD program Fusion 360. They will learn how to manipulate and use parts and assemblies. The course will concentrate on Computer Aided Design (CAD) for Vex Robotics, but students will learn the basics of CAD for designing robots and other real world objects. See the schedule below.
Intermediate C++
Intermediate C++ we will introduce PID control, Field odometry, Filtering of sensors, Driver assist macros, JARTemplate, and version control with GIT. Students must have one year of VRC competition experience. See the schedule below.
Robot in 5 Weeks
A tradition in the robot community is the RI3 or Robot in 3 Days. This won't be three full days, but 4 hous a week for 5 weeks. Students will analyze and build a robot for a new VRC game. We will build 6 competition ready robots almost 6 months before the first competition. Students must have one year of VRC competition experience. See the schedule below.
VEX IQ University (Starts May 18 - Signup Begins March 24)
The greatest, most fun, robotics event imagined. A five week build of the new VEXIQ game by our VRC students, Robot Revolution Staff, Alumni, and even parents if they would like to join in. We will all build robots for the brand new VEX IQ Challenge and compete against each other for epic bragging rights. Only former VRC students (and parents) or incoming VRC students (grades 8-12 in Fall 2025) are allowed. Students that will participate in the VEX IQ challenge next year can not attend. We will have an end of session scrimmage.
Summer Camp : (Starts June 16)
Students will get supervised and directed build time to explore new ideas. For the competition VRC team members it's a chance to push skills to the next level or test ideas for the new game. We will have the 2025-2026 VRC Competition field available and ready for use. Signup here.
