My Project

Our school competes each year in the VEX Robotics Competition. During this competition, our teams need spare batteries to help power their robots during the matches.

Sometimes, the matches are close together and the batteries aren't able to be charged in-between the matches.

The only way to solve this problem is to have a supply of spare batteries to share between the teams. This enables the robots to have a fresh battery for each match.

Our goal this year is to make it to the Nevada State VEX Robotics Competitions and qualify for the World Championship in Texas!
