VEX Robotics World Championship 2024

820 high school teams from around the world competed for three eventful days at the VEX World Championship in April. After 3 days of competing, we were victorious with our alliance partner 9698B, Unknown Robotics, from Fujian, China. We were crowned division champions in the Research Division!

Only 10 alliance teams make it to the finals to compete in the dome of 9,000 spectators.….

WE MADE IT TO THE DOME!!!!

Leading up to the competition, we spent a tremendous amount of time preparing by undertaking our most difficult and complex robot build to date. The persistence, tenacity and long hours paid off. It was coupled with overwhelming stress to make the most competitive 6 inch robot that we’ve never designed, built, programmed or competed with before. There were many unknowns and uncertainties coming into this competition, but with great risk comes great reward. None of this was possible without every team member putting forth their best efforts to compete at such a high level.

With the conclusion of the 2023-2024 season of VEX Over Under we are losing three of our teammates. Our three seniors, Logan (driver/builder), William (programmer), Mirah (programmer) are off to colleges, such as University of Florida and Georgia Tech. We are sad to see them go but know they will do amazing things. They have been some of the best to compete in VEX Robotics and will be missed by many, especially the incoming seniors that are left to keep the ACE name going.

As we move onto next year, seniors, Jacob (designer/builder) and Adam (noteboker/scout/builder) will be taking on new roles. Having the belief success is a product of the hard work and time invested will be essential as we take on these new challenges. The bar is set high but we are hoping to keep the momentum going for this upcoming season of competing in the 2024-2025 VEX Robotics High Stakes.

Stay tuned for announcements as the team is expanding and has exciting news to share of a new team member joining, as well as the growth of the organization!
