The Game VEX Robotics Competition In the Zone is played on a 12’x12’ square field configured as seen above. Two alliances – one “red” and one “blue” – composed of two teams each, compete in matches consisting of a fifteen second autonomous period followed by one minute and forty-five seconds of driver-controlled play.
The object of the game is to attain a higher score than the opposing Alliance by Stacking Cones on Goals, by Scoring Mobile Goals in Goal Zones, by having the Highest Stacks, and by Parking Robots.
The Details There are eighty (80) Cones. Some begin in designated locations on the field, while others are available to be entered into the field during the Match.
Each Robot (smaller than 18”x18”x18”) begins a match touching their Starting Bar. Each Alliance has ten (10) Goals to Stack Cones upon, while eight (8) of these Goals are Mobile and can be scored in Goal Zones. Alliances also earn points for having the Highest Stack in a Zone and for Parking Robots at the end of the Match. A bonus is awarded to the Alliance that has the most total points at the end of the Autonomous Period.
Scoring A Cone Stacked on a Goal 2 points A Mobile Goal Scored in the 5 Point Zone
5 points
A Mobile Goal Scored in the 10 Point Zone
10 points
A Mobile Goal Scored in the 20 Point Zone
20 points
Each type of Highest Stack 5 points A Robot that is Parked 2 points Alliance with the most points at the end of autonomous
10 points
What is the VEX Robotics Competition?
The VEX Robotics Competition, managed by the Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation, is an international middle school and high school robotics competition that pits students against their peers. In addition to learning about science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), participants gain valuable teamwork and problem-solving experience. Teams compete year-round at local events with the season culminating in April at the VEX Robotics World Championship. By participating, students are also eligible to apply for valuable scholarships. The REC Foundation is also pleased to support the VEX IQ Challenge, a competition offering for elementary students, and VEX U for college and university students.
