Hi Everyone,

Hopefully the Christmas/New Years break has been treating you all well! I know it’s early in the year but I have a few notices that I need to get out so here goes:

Firstly, there is a two day Scrimmage being held at MOTAT (Auckland) on January 30^th – 31^st (Doors open at 10:00am, games will start at 10:30am – 4pm both days), it will be a normal scrimmage but held over two days with big crowds coming and going.

Here's a shorter update after another great week of competitions. Things will slow down for the holidays for a couple weeks, but the big news this week is that the Online Design Challenges have been announced.

HONOLULU – Nearly 1,000 middle school and high school students from Hawai‘i, the U.S. Mainland and China will descend upon the Hawai‘i Convention Center this week, December 3 – 5, for the 2nd annual VEX Robotics Pan-Pacific Championship.  The event is free and open to the public.

The team-based robotics competition will put students’ engineering and high-tech skills to the test in three action-packed days of competition with robots created from the VEX Robotics Design System.
