VEX Battle of the Bots

Success Zone / Walker Station -
2026 Fall

Battle of the Bots is a great way to learn how technologies like programming, sensors, gears, and mechanics work, all while having fun! Students will learn the fundamentals of mechanical engineering as they team up to build robotic systems and compete against one another in tasks such as sumo-wrestling, tug-o-war, head-to-head combat, and much more! By the end of the class, students will put their skills to the test and see who can build the best battle bot.

Week Lesson/Activity
1 Students are introduced to their first VEX robot and learn the basics behind building one.
2 Students do an introductory battle with limited supplies for building and explore the engineering design process.
3 Students explore the distance and color sensors on the robot and begin exploring block-based programming.
4 Students put their skills to the test by navigating a maze using only the color sensor and coding.
5 Students will explore the rest of the available sensors: the bumping sensor and gyro sensor, as well as motors.
6 Students will learn about gear ratios to do a run of 3 events: Battle Bots, Soccer, and Racing.
7 Students will begin programming a fully automatic battle bot and add their own sensors to win the competition.
8 Students begin the last few weeks of battling, with an emphasis on exploring different designs to get the best outcome.
9 Students begin working on their final projects: Building and branding their battle bots for the final competition.
10 Students have the ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN in our final battle showcase.
