My Project

My gifted and talented students, as well as my Beta students enjoy working with robots. We are blessed that we "inherited" over 20 VEX IQ Generation 1 robotics kits. These kits are full of most of the wheels, plastic structural building pieces and some electronics that are needed to build competitive robots for our groups. However, we feel that we need to upgrade the electronic parts of our kits to help us to become more competitive.

This year, our dream is to compete in a VEX IQ robotics match and to place in the Robotics Showcase at our state Beta Convention!

With these kit upgrades, we can be sure that our robots will be just as great as those we will meet in competition.
