This year marks 10 years of building and growing our robotics program, and we’re proud of how far we’ve come. What began as a single competition team has evolved into a full K–5 robotics pathway that introduces students to coding and robotics as early as kindergarten. Our youngest learners begin with Osmos, VEX 123, and Dash robots, then continue in 2nd and 3rd grade with VEX GO. In 4th and 5th grade, students transition into our VEX IQ program, where they can participate in either non-competitive clubs or join one of our competitive teams. Altogether, we serve over 100 students each year through this structured and exciting pathway. This season, our 5th grade competition teams participated in three tournaments—including State, where both teams won. Team Rozzum Unit 7134 earned a bid to the VEX World Championship, and we are thrilled to attend for the first time. Scroll down to meet our incredible teams and see photos of their journey!

 

 

 

 

Team Rozzum Earns Excellence at State!
At the Oklahoma VEX IQ State Tournament, Team Rozzum proudly earned the Excellence Award — the highest honor presented at a VEX IQ competition. This prestigious award recognizes a team that exemplifies overall excellence in robot performance, engineering design, coding, teamwork, documentation, and professionalism.

 

Winning the Excellence Award means that Team Rozzum didn't just succeed on the game field — they demonstrated dedication across every aspect of the competition, from their engineering notebook to their interviews. As a result, they earned a coveted bid to the VEX IQ World Championship!

We couldn't be prouder of their hard work, resilience, and leadership as they represent our school and state on the world stage.

 

 

Team Wall-E Tops the Charts with Robot Skills Award!
At the Oklahoma VEX IQ State Tournament, Team Wall-E wowed the crowd by taking home the Robot Skills Award — a recognition given to the team with the highest combined Driving Skills and Autonomous Coding scores out of all teams at the event.

 

This award showcases their precision driving and advanced programming abilities, proving they built not just a great robot, but one they could expertly control and code to perfection. While this award didn’t come with a bid to Worlds, we couldn’t be more proud of their incredible accomplishment.
