−	~~The~~ VEX ~~Robotics Competition~~ is ~~basically~~ the ~~same as the [[FIRST Robotics Competition]] though with~~ a ~~few differences~~. ~~While also smaller~~, ~~VRC is cheaper~~ to ~~build and~~ participate in. ~~Robots made out of~~ VEX ~~components are much smaller than a typical FRC robot~~. That being said, it is a great way to involve students who have never built a robot before, allowing them to get up close and personal to the robots they design and build. ~~It promotes cooperation~~, ~~creativity~~, and ~~problem-solving skills~~.	+	VEX robotics is a year-long, global robotics competition which challenges students from all across the globe to create a functioning robot to complete a specific game-like challenge. VEX robots are small, but require complex thinking and execution to create a competitive bot. At Peachtree Ridge, we participate in VEX because it serves as a great platform to teach invaluable life lessons, such as teamwork, leadership, problem solving, and time management. A new VEX game is released each April, however, we do not build the robots until August, allowing rising Freshman to get involved in the process. That being said, it is a great way to involve students who have never built a robot before, allowing them to get up close and personal to the robots they design and build. Each VEX team is broken down into 5-7 members, allowing each student to be greatly involved. In November, we host a competition for our sub teams, as well as around 50 others, from nearly 15 schools around Georgia, with the goal of winning and qualifying for the state championship.
