Event Description

The VEX Robotics World Championship is a gathering of top robotics teams from around the world to celebrate their accomplishments and compete with/against the best of the best. The 2010 VEX Robotics World Championship will include top teams from approximately 150 VEX Robotics Competition tournaments happening in cities around the world from October 2009 to April 2010. To make the World Championship celebration even more accessible to top performing teams, space has been secured to ensure that each and every winning team from any official VEX Robotics local tournament with 12 teams or more will qualify for the World Championship. Teams will play the game Clean Sweep for the 2009-2010 season.

A special thanks to our primary partners: The FUTURE Foundation, Autodesk, EMC, NASA, and iRobot. The commitment and support of these partners ensures a great experience for everyone attending the 2010 VEX Robotics World Championship.
