VEX Robotics Spooktacular Competition Recap 🎃🤖 Our Engineering and Robotics students had an incredible weekend competing in the VEX Robotics Spooktacular at Sullivan East Middle School in the High School division! This was our team’s very first official VEX competition, and it proved to be a fantastic learning experience. Our robot performed well overall, but we quickly learned that consistent execution—not just design—is what sets top teams apart. Comparing our build and strategy with others gave us great insight into how we can fine-tune and optimize our design for the next event. That’s what VEX is all about—learning through creativity, testing, and continuous improvement. Our students had a great time, made new friends from other schools, and left inspired to build an even stronger robot for next semester’s competition. We can’t wait to see how far this team will go! 💪🔩
