It’s early in the VEX Robotics season, but the Millard North High School Robotics team is ready to rock. They’ve been working hard to build an efficient flywheel design that can accurately hit the net across the field.
Only 43 days until the first VEX tournaments, it’s already shaping up to be an exciting season.
VEX Robotics released their Referee Training videos for the 2015-15 Nothing But Net season. Not only useful for referees, it is also a great way for the students to get a better understanding of this year’s game.
