VEX Robotics Competition
Recognized as the largest and fastest-growing
educational robotics competition in the world,
VEX attracted attendance from Ivy-league schools
like Harvard and MIT, and attention of global
brands like Google, Tesla, and Intel, who act as
event sponsors and send representatives to meet
and speak with competitors. As an enthralling
game-based engineering challenge, VEX attracts
nearly 20,000 teams from over 40 countries.
UTG Robotics
UTG Robotics is a Premier Club Robotics team focusing on
developing the pre-engineering and robotics skills of young Botsmiths
to compete on the international stage. For students interested in design
and programming, UTG Robotics fosters learning through a challenging,
team-oriented environment where participants collaborate to create an entry
for the global Robotics challenge - VEX IQ.
UTG Robotics is a rigorous team-oriented
extracurricular program that culminates in a memorable
experience designed to awaken wonder and unlock opportunities
in one of the most exciting and fastest-growing sectors of engineering.
UTG's Robotics program was founded by Todd Ablett. Todd Ablett is a veteran teacher and
