UISG Sends 4 Teams to VEX Robotics Nationals

VEX Robotics Regional

What makes our robotics journey truly remarkable is just how young our program is! This is only our third year in VEX IQ and our second year in VEX V5, yet we’re making huge waves.

Despite our short history, we are bursting with pride to announce that FOUR of our teams have already earned immediate qualification for the VEX Nationals in Shanghai this February 5-7!

All these students have built the foundation for a legacy of excellence from the ground up, dedicating countless hours during weekend build sessions, collaborating, researching, and mastering new skills. Through the Design Cycle—inquire, ideate, create, test—they’ve turned ideas into competitive robots.

Directly advancing to Shanghai are:

VEX V5 Teams (2nd Year Program!):

Ctrl+Alt+Defeat (Gr. 8): Mikayla, Aarav & Frank
UISG C (Secondary): Zack, Isabella & Evan

VEX IQ Teams (3rd Year Program!):

Byte Wolves: Neev, Shun & Tsubasa
Team D: Lucas, Mina & Oscar

We also want to give a HUGE shout-out to our secondary team of Justin, John, MinChan, and Emerson. They have shown incredible teamwork and drive to design, build, and complete their robot in a remarkably short time.

In just a few short years, the coaches and students have built a culture of innovation, resilience, and excellence. The entire UISG community is in awe of what they have achieved in such a short time. We are behind you all the way!
