This section will outline the specifications that are most important to Teams designing a Robot to compete in the VEX V5 Robotics Competition High Stakes. Though many of the critical dimensions are included in this section, it may be necessary to consult the separate assembly guide and 3D CAD models of the Field for an additional level of detail. If you can’t find a dimension in the specifications, we include a full model of the field to “virtually” measure whatever dimension is necessary.
Field components may vary slightly from event to event. This is to be expected; Teams will need to adapt accordingly. It is good design practice to create mechanisms capable of accommodating variances in the Field and Scoring Objects.
Note: Minor Field repairs are permissible, provided that the repairs do not affect gameplay. Examples of minor Field repairs include (but are not limited to) threadlocker applied to Field Element mounting hardware. Be sure to check the Official Q&A for specific examples or to get an official clarification.
