National Robotics Week – VEX IQ Challenge!
To celebrate National Robotics Week, we've opened up our FREE VEX IQ Virtual Challenge for everyone to participate!!
The VEX IQ Virtual Challenge is part of an ongoing research project by Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Academy and the University of Pittsburgh's Learning Research and Development Center designed to assist robotics teams learning to program.
Participating students will learn programming that enables them to solve this year's VEX IQ Virtual Highrise Challenge. As they learn they will also earn an Introduction to Robotics and Programming Certification.
Robomatter is pleased to be working closely with the Robotics Academy to create high quality STEM learning experiences, and has agreed to provide access to all related materials FOR FREE to celebrate National Robotics Week!
The game available for the challenge is VEX IQ Highrise Beltway! In Beltway, you will program your VEX IQ robot to autonomously score as many cubes as possible during the 2 minute period. The standard Highrise game has been augmented with a conveyor belt around the perimeter and several other game play elements. Click here for a more extensive list of the new rules and game play. Beltway is available in the latest update to the VEX IQ Highrise Robot Virtual World download.
