Robotics Team Description:
Genesis: Pathways to Success, an initiative of Ripley County Community Foundation, is offering high school students in Ripley County the opportunity to apply to become a team member of a county-wide VEX VRC High School Robotics team.
The 2023-2024 VEX VRC: Over Under is played on a 12' x 12' field using a variety of field objects. Teams play on an alliance, which is composed of two teams, in a match against another alliance. Matches consist of a 15 second Autonomous Period followed by a 1 minute 45 second Driver Controlled Period.
Practices will start after fall break (around the week of Oct. 16th) and be held on a weekly basis from 4:30 to 6:00 on Thursdays. Schedule is subject to change based upon student interest and availability. The team will compete in a minimum of two Saturday competitions at locations around Indiana. These dates, locations, and times will be distributed at a later date.
Practice location will be held on the third floor of Kids Discovery Factory, 110 Sycamore St., Batesville, IN 47006. Transportation must be provided by a parent/guardian or student.
Cost to Participate: $50
This fee covers the cost for your student to receive a robotics t-shirt and participate in Saturday competition (registration and transportation costs).
A scholarship is available to waive the participation cost for any student who cannot afford the fee.
