For 2025-26, the Vex V5 game Push Back (for HS teams) challenges teams to collect blocks, score blocks and play offense and defense of the scoring goals. The VexIQ Mix & Match game (for MS and ES) challenges the students to retrieve and stack objects with particular emphasis on the color mixes in each stack. Click on the game link to find information about each game's rules/elements/scoring. See the videos below for an introduction on the two games for this season. The REC Foundation Online Challenges provide an additional method of channeling your competitive robotic and engineering interests. For online robotics check out the https://vr.vex.com online programming environment which allows you to get used to the programming tools that BRC teams will use for all events to program simulated robots in virtual environments.
