Rolling Robots’ VEX IQ Teams Make Waves at Late Season Tournament


Palos Verdes, CA — Rolling Robots’ VEX IQ Robotics Competition Teams have much to be proud of as they return from their first tournament of the New Year. A total of five Rolling Robots‘ VEX IQ Robotics Competition Teams participated in the TUSD Robotics VEX IQ Late Season Tournament on Saturday, January 18th, 2020.

Teams 7700V, 7700P, 7700J, 7700Z, and 7700W all participated in this tournament, and Teams 7700V and 7700W collectively walked away from competition with three awards. Team 7700V won the Teamwork Champion and Robot Skills Champion Awards, while Team 7700W won the Judges Award. Team 7700V also ranked #1 in three categories: Skills, Finalist Division, and Teamwork Division. Just a few weeks back, Team 7700P won Tournament Champion, so things have been pretty exciting for Rolling Robots’ VEX IQ Teams lately.

These achievements are the direct result of the hard work by each member of these teams. They have been meeting every week working on designing, building, programming, and testing the team robot to prepare for these tournaments. Many team members have also participated in Rolling Robots’ after school workshops and summer camps, where they have learned robot building, programming, and other skills, prior to joining the team.

The VEX Robotics Competition, presented by the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation, is the largest and fastest growing middle and high school robotics program globally with more than 11,000 teams from 32 countries playing in over 750 tournaments worldwide.

Rolling Robots is a kids tech learning company with three locations in Palos Verdes, Glendale, and West LA. Here, children from local schools and homeschools in preschool through 12th grade learn STEM, robotics, and invention in after school programs, summer camps, robot building parties, and workshops. Children can join teams to participate in the VEX Robotics Competition as young as 3rd grade. By taking on the engineering challenge presented in each year’s game, Rolling Robots’ members learn hands-on engineering skills and practice critical life skills ranging from communication and teamwork, to perseverance and conflict resolution while simultaneously developing their passion for robotics.
