Vex Worlds: A brief explanation

Vex Worlds is an event hosted in Dallas from April 25-May 3 for the best Vex teams in the world to compete in VRC and IQ matches to crown world champions.

Vex Worlds has various sponsors, including NASA, Texas Instruments, and Tesla. It is a very important event, with hundreds of teams from all over the world seeking to compete.

To get into Vex worlds, you must compete and get a high award in Signature events (Very big events, like the Mall of America) or other competitions.

In Vex worlds, you do everything with your team. You stay with them, you work with them, you eat with them. At heart, it is about celebrating yourself and others for getting here.

I think Vex Worlds is a very good event because it embodies why I love Vex Robotics: Low costs (For robotics), so people, even in third world countries, can compete. This promotes a sense of world unity, as everyone is in an equal field. That’s just what we need in the world with all the hate right now.
