THE ROAD TO THE PODIUM //

Multiple weeks of building. 1 championship.

This isn’t a one-day event — it’s a 5 week engineering course that ends on the tournament floor. The build is the program; the battle is the payoff.

01

Build

Over 5 weekly sessions, students design and build their own VEX IQ robot from the ground up — including custom ball-handling mechanisms to gain an edge on the field.

02

Refine

They go through the process real engineers use — build, test, improve, repeat — sharpening strategy every week. Then, halfway through the program, they get teamed up with a partner.
03

Championship

Then on November 1, every community meets at North Delta for the thrilling but friendly Bots vs Bots championship.

WHY IT MATTERS //

More than a tournament.

Young Innovators don’t just get a fun Sunday — they get 5 weeks of the skills that outlast the trophy.

Teamwork.

2 vs 2 means developing strong communication skills and trusting your partner when the clock is running.

Resilience.

Robots fail — that’s the point. Young Innovators learn to adapt, iterate, and come back stronger each week.

Engineering.

The same design-and-test process professional robotics engineers use, entirely hands-on.

Confidence.

No matter who the champion is, everyone is a winner because they developed communication, engineering, and problem-solving skills.

Common Q&A's

Nope. Every young innovator starts from scratch — no prior robotics needed. The 4 – 5 week course brings everyone up to speed together.

The link to register is hosted on each community’s recreation-centre page. Pick your community above and the button takes you straight to the right sign-up.

Real competition VEX IQ robotics kits. The same professional kits used in high school-level robotics competitions.

Every competitor plus their family and friends — and anyone who loves robots.

It’s a spectator-friendly championship at North Delta Centre for the Arts.
