VEX Robotics

The Annual FIRST Championship event electrifies the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, April 21-23, 2005.

The best, brightest and baddest go wheel-to-wheel in the nation's coveted shoot-out sponsored by FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) with major support from NASA, Boston Scientific, DaimlerChrysler,
Delphi Corporation and more.

More than 465 teams totaling 20,000 high-school and middle-school students gather to compete and wow the crowds with their skills and robotic creations.

The launch of Vex will also happen at The FIRST Championship. The Vex Robotics Design System is a very cool new option in kits that allows you to design and create almost anything you can imagine, and meet whatever challenges come your way.

The Starter Kit costs considerably less than similar kits, yet provides a more engaging and rewarding experience. It's filled with variable-speed motors, multiple gears, a programmable micro-controller, multiple wheel types and sizes, a configurable chassis—well, you get the idea. Everything you need to prove you're a genius.

The FIRST Vex Challenge at The FIRST Championship will be the first chance for robophiles to get their hands on Vex and invent something truly mind-blowing as they face off to design, build, and program their own Vex robot.

It's gonna be big, and it's gonna be soon. For more on The FIRST Competition and Vex, blast over to www.vexrobotics.com
