Robotics

Combining the elements of Engineering, Math, and Science

Each year, Faith Christian’s Robotics team, Team 1826 “The Fuse”, competes in the VEX Robotics Competition.  Over 20,000 teams from 40 countries compete during the season at thousands of regional, statewide, and national tournaments, with the goal of being among the elite that qualify for the VEX Robotics World Championship each April.  The Fuse Robotics Team has a long and successful history of competing at the highest levels of VEX Robotics, qualifying for the World Championship in 9 of the last 11 years.

How VEX Competition Works

In the VEX Robotics Competition, teams of students are tasked with designing and building a robot to play against other teams in a game-based engineering challenge. The VEX competitions, are always played on a 12’ x 12’ field, but the scoring objects and rules of the game are changed every year.  This keeps things fresh and presents students with an ever-changing engineering problems to solve. Classroom STEM concepts are put to the test as students learn lifelong skills in teamwork, leadership, communications, and more.
