Get ready for the most exciting robotics program of the year. In this hands-on course, students design, build, and engineer their very own robot using Vex IQ — then take it onto the field to compete in a real 2v2 robot soccer league. Every session brings a new engineering challenge: tuning your drivetrain for speed and control, designing a ball mechanism that can outmaneuver the competition, and refining your robot based on what you learned from last week’s class. It’s not just building — it’s building with a purpose.
Throughout the course, participants will:
- Design and build their own robot from the ground up
- Develop and test custom ball-handling mechanisms to gain a competitive edge on the field
- Learn the same iterative design process used by real-world robotics engineers — build, test, improve, repeat
- Develop teamwork and critical thinking as they strategize with their partner and adapt to the competition
- Compete in a Championship match where robots, skills, and strategy are put to the ultimate test
The main event: on Sunday, November 1, robotics teams from Langley, North Delta, Tsawwassen, and Maple Ridge come together at the North Delta Centre for the Arts for our combined Ultimate Robotics Tournament — a live championship where families and friends are invited to watch. Five weeks of building, one championship to settle it.
No previous experience needed! Join us for the ultimate after-school program in Langley!
