Pacific Northwest VEX Robotics Regional Championship

Teams must qualify for the “A” Division at tournaments earlier in the year. Over the past three years several VEX Robotics World Championship teams and World Division Champions have honed their skills in “A” Division. In 2013 the “A” Division teams that went on to the World Championship had a higher win ratio at wolrds than they did at BCIT…. if you can win in “A” Division, then you can win at worlds!

The “B” Division is a great chance for up-and-coming teams to take part in a world-class robotics competition and gain experience for a run at “A” Division or a future World Championship title.

 

BC VEX Provincial Championship

To enter this event you must have qualified at one of the earlier BC VEX Tournaments including the Season Opener, Fall Qualifier, Winter Qualifier, and Vancouver Island Qualifier.
