Each competition team is recommended to consist of 3 to 6 team members.
Teams can be either formed by the member themselves or let the coach forms the team by recommending team members.
Team levels are based on the age of team members:
Middle School Team (students who are under 15 years old)
High School Team (students who are 15 years old and above)
The team is classified as a high school team if any of its members is a high school student.
 
PRE-REQUISITE
Finish the 2-week Introduction and Advanced Sessions of Vinci Robotics Summer Camp.
If the student missed the summer camp sessions, the student can take the "BASIC TRAINING CLASS" to learn basic knowledge in order to join competition teams.
If the student has a strong previous equivalent robotics experience, he/she can waive the summer camp sessions or training classes. Talk to our head coach to determine the qualification.
 
COACH
Each team has one coach and maybe one coaching assistant. The club head-coach is responsible for teaching materials and monitoring the overall team progresses.
The head coach is VEX V5 certified by the VEX official certification program and Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy VEX programs.
