About Vex:
"The VEX Robotics Design System is a robotic kit intended to introduce students as well as adults to the world of robotics. The VEX Robotics Design System is centered on the VEX Clawbot Kit which is sold in the Dual Control Starter Kit.

This award winning platform was developed by Innovation First International.This product was originally available for purchase in RadioShack stores, and also on the web. On April 17, 2006 Innovation First announced their acquisition of the VEX Robotics brand name and trademark registrations from RadioShack Corporation. RadioShack stores are no longer selling VEX kits but can be purchased online. 

Ron will share how he uses Vex robots with secondary students. He has been the robotics coach at Xavier HS in Appleton for the past 12 years.
