VEX Robotics Team
Hi! We are LaunchForce. We are six friends who build and code robots for VEX competitions, and we love it!
About us
Every robot starts as a drawing and a big box of parts. We put it together, add the motors and write the code to make it move. Then we take it to competitions to see what it can do!
Sometimes things go wrong. The robot falls over, or the code does something weird. That's OK! We work out what happened, fix it and try again. That's how we get better.
We are a team, so we help each other. We also like helping other teams and making new friends at competitions.
Aim high. Build smart. Launch together.
Think up cool ideas for our robot.
Pick the best idea and plan it out.
Put all the parts together.
Make it move with the controller and on its own.
Try it out. If it breaks, fix it!
Then we do it all again ↺ so our robot keeps getting better
That's us

Outreach & Sponsors
We are six students who love building and coding robots. To build better robots and get to more competitions, we need help from people and businesses like you.
Become a sponsorWhy we need sponsors
Building a competition robot takes lots of parts, and some of them wear out or break while we test. Every season we also pay to enter competitions and travel to get there.
With your help, we can spend less time worrying about money and more time designing, building, coding and learning.
Motors, sensors, metal, wheels and batteries.
Every event costs money to enter.
Getting the team and our robot to events.
Tools, team shirts and our engineering notebook.
Ways you can help
A money donation goes straight into parts, fees and travel for the season.
VEX parts, batteries, tools or a place to build and practise are all a big help.
Are you an engineer, coder or designer? We would love to learn from you.

What sponsors get
Outreach
Our team leader Micah started with VEX GO at primary school, and now he builds and drives our competition robot. We want more kids to have that chance. Here is how we want to give back:
Show younger students our robot and how fun coding can be.
Lend a hand and share tips with new teams at competitions.
Show our family, friends and sponsors what we have built.
