Students competing in the Teamwork Challenge

slalom. Practicing driving the Clawbot is a useful task which can help you prepare for one of
the challenges in the VEX Robotics World Championship.

There are two types of challenges the teams will tackle. In the Robotic Skills Challenge,

The second type of challenge is the Teamwork Challenge, in which two robots compete in
