Lower, Middle, Upper School Robotics Teams Travel to VEX Robotics World Championship
Cranbrook Schools' Robotics Teams across all divisions performed exceptionally at the VEX World Championship in Louisville, Kentucky this year!
Three VRC upper school teams and two VRC middle school teams qualified to participate in the VEX Robotics World Championship. Less than 5% of all teams participating in VEX worldwide qualify to attend the World Championship, so Cranbrook Schools’ inclusion in this competition is a great success for these students and their coaches.

All of the participating teams won matches in their respective divisions and exhibited great sportsmanship throughout the event. Team 39Z attracted a great deal of attention from the judges for their unique design and CAD drawing display, and Team 39A immediately began to lead the Cranbrook teams after the first day of competition. By the end of qualification matches, Team 38X and Team 39K had worked their way high enough in the rankings to be in contention for final alliance partner selection.
