WHAT IS VEX?
VEX Robotics is the world’s largest robotics competition. Each year, VEX releases a new engineering challenge where students design, build, and program robots to complete the challenge using VEX robotics parts. Teams then compete against each other in tournaments hosted across the world.











ABOUT US

Western Mechatronics is a student-run non-profit association dedicated to providing robotics opportunities to middle school and high school students. We run online lessons, hands-on summer camps, and Competitive Vex Competition Club Teams.


First of its Kind
Our Competition Club program is the first out-of-school program in Alberta that enables students to compete in Vex Robotics Competitions.


World-Class
With 4 Teams qualified for the World Championships and a Top 2 Placement from 210Y last season, our teams are world-class competitors having won several awards, including Sub-Division Champions, Innovate, and Sportsmanship


Trailblazers
In one season, we started four new vex robotics teams composed of 15 innovative middle school students. Four teams is equivalent to 15% of all the teams in Alberta.
