The conclusion of each year's VEX World Championship marks one of the most exciting times in the global robotics scene. VEX Robotics "resets" the competition challenges, encouraging children worldwide to design robots from scratch. This year, the newly unveiled game at the VEX Robotics World Championship 2026 in St. Louis is VEX IQ Level Up. An In-Depth Look at VEX IQ Level Up Level Up isn't just a game of moving objects; it's a test of wit and strategy on a 6 x 8 foot field,

In competitive robotics, outcomes are often determined not by dramatic mechanical innovations but by the precise execution of fundamental design decisions. Among these, the selection and configuration of a drivetrain's wheel system plays a critical role in a robot's ability to navigate, position, and perform under time constraints. The omni-directional wheel — a component that appears deceptively simple — is one such design decision. In the VEX IQ platform, understanding how

Every parent of a tech-passionate child has felt it — that quiet, uncertain question in the back of their mind: Is my child on the right track? They love coding. They ace their exams. But is that enough to get into MIT , Stanford , Carnegie Mellon , or the world's other elite Computer Engineering programs? The answer, from everything we've learned working with students across Thailand and Southeast Asia, is: it depends on what you do next. This guide covers exactly that. The
