While many colleges and universities already use the VEX V5 system in their academic classes, many more have extensive manufacturing capabilities beyond the standard “VEX metal” library. Fabrication techniques like machining and 3D printing are more common than ever in collegiate engineering programs, and we can’t wait to see what VEX U Robotics Competition (VURC) Teams from around the world are able to create under these more advanced rules.
As in past years, the season will include a culminating VURC event at the VEX Robotics World Championship, along with regional tournaments across the world. Participating schools will get the chance to prove their abilities in front of thousands of future engineers and show off what truly makes their school remarkable. VURC is the perfect project-based supplement to many university level engineering programs, and will give Students the unique opportunity to demonstrate their real-world skills to potential employers (such as VEX competition sponsors).
Event Information
Several of the University partners participating in VURC will be holding tournament events in addition to the capstone competition at the 2025 VEX Robotics World Championship. Refer to robotevents.com for event details, pricing, and registration info for VURC events.
