VEX Robotics Photography Challenge
Showcase youth using VEX to explore STEM. Compose a photograph that features one or more students working on a robot, testing, planning or celebrating your VEX team’s accomplishments. Use photography to tell the judges something about your own story of involvement on a competition team, in a classroom, or as a hobbyist working with VEX.

Charging Forward
This photograph illustrates how far we've come as a program: two Pearl City Charger teams in an alliance at the State Championship finals, hosted at our own high school, looking on in anticipation as both robots score.
Finding Future RoboDawgs
RoboDawgs at the mall! Inviting future RoboDawgs to drive our VEX robot.
It's Gonna Be HUGE!
As a team leader of 687D, I organized a team meeting in our senior mentor’s house during Winter Break. The team brainstormed ideas, made some sketches, and re-design our robot so that we will be prepared for our next competition. As what our team motto says,
“It’s Gonna Be HUGE!”
We Made It !!!
We Made It !!!
In the competition on 12/12/2015, other team's robot got a problem and blocked the way. Our robot pushed that robot out and parked on the ramp at the last moment. The picture captured the exciting monent at the end of the game.
VEX IQ Team Spirit
These Robocougars embody the spirit of VEX IQ; working together, giving their best effort, taking their work seriously...but not too seriously. A sense of humor breaks the tension of competition and the whole team shares in the fun!
Passing The Torch
Its always fun to share knowledge with the next wave of robot geniuses! In this picture the 8th grade students (on the left) induct new members into the basics of VEX.
Dana Point Robo-Techs at SkyBall
From L to R Front row: Natalie Misiri, Eve Viramontes, Christopher Andersen, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Retired U.S. Army Officer Gary Linfoot, Gavin Fancher, Garrett Knuff, Cooper Sisley, Zeyan Anatawi, Zachary Byrnes. Top row: Laurie Baker, Veteran Kimberley Mitchell, Mari Linfoot, Nona Reimer
My Robotics Team was honored to have been invited to the American Airlines Skyball for our efforts through our STEM Project; to create awareness and advocate action through our online petition to encourage the VA to provide robotic mobility devices, like exoskeletons, to our...
Late Night Coding
BNS member Justin adds computer vision to our robots while 24B member Kayley (mentored by BNS) programs her robot. BERN member Matthew is getting some much needed rest while BNS member Robert Skypes in.
Making it Safe
In this photo, a team member is checking the tightness of the shaft in the motor to make sure that it does not come loose during the competition. Just like every other part of the robot, this shaft is checked to make sure it is safe before each round.
Engineers in the Making
Robotics isn't just about programming, controlling and building; one of the less known aspects of VEX Robotics is the Engineering Notebook. It records down what your team does and most importantly what you have learnt from the whole VEX experience.
When you become an enginner 10 or 20 years down the road, you're not going to remember how to stack 7 skyrises within 30 seconds, or build a functioning catapult that can launch balls. But you will definitely still need the skills and knowledge of keeping a Enginnering Notebook.
Club Promotion
Recently, we have been re-branding our club as TDMS Robotics. For the day I was given the opportunity to use the school drone to take some photographs to advertise our club. This is a photograph of the middle school students with my team's robot.
First Competition Nerves
This was our first competition of the year and you can see on my face that I was thinking about a lot. I remember thinking "Where do I go right now?" and "I need to keep my robot safe". In this picture I am clinging tightly to our robot because I was worried about dropping it or about having someone bump into it. I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to be so I was also looking around for my coach.
The Apprentice
A senior robotics club member, Joe, teaches 7 year old Chloe how to drive the Hereford Zone Vex Robot for the first time.
Two minds one goal
This photograph ilustrates how two separates minds can complement each other in the mechanical and programming functions of the designed Robot. Two students working together to find precision. Two minds that concentrates in one goal. The nothing but net game.
The Beginning
After creating our design the real work began, throwing accurately the ball in the net. The photo contains important elements in the contruction of our launcher as is the ball to adjust the output,tools, the battery power, the micro and all cables.
Eye, Robot.
This picture was taken with a GoPro strapped to our robot, and demonstrates the teamwork that goes into competing in robotics.

SVHS Robotics
This Vex Robot was created by the commitment and determination of the Sierra Vista Robotics program. Over a period of time this team not only created a Vex Robot it made a family.
Strategizing
The calm before the storm - last second tinkering and strategizing before the first match of the day.
