Come one, come all to the Vex Robotics competition of Julian vs. Brooks! Watch teams compete with robots designed, built, programmed and controlled by students.

The competition will take place on Thursday, April 3, 7 pm in the Brooks gym, 325 S. Kenilworth. The teams have built 10' x 14' playing fields on which to maneuver their robots to score points in various ways, including placing marbles and plastic eggs on a balance scale. Students have devised innovative ways for their robots to complete these tasks.

Vex Robotics is funded by the Oak Park Education Foundation, with support from the Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation.
