Heart of Ohio VEX V5 Robotics League: VEX V5 Robotics Competition Middle School Teams

General Info

Highland is proud to present this year's VEX V5 Robotics Competition, OVERRIDE! Highland Robotics has a long history and tradition of hosting robotics competitions and we are excited to invite you and your teams to our league event!

The competition will be held in our robotics room at Highland Middle School. We will have pit areas set up in our cafeteria for your students. There will be two competition fields available each evening. We'll run qualifying matches on one field and have the other set up for skills runs. Each team will get 3 driver and 3 autonomous runs each league night. Should our qualifiing matches finish up, we'll set that up for anyone that wants to run more skills runs as necessary.

The league will span for 4 nights. The first three nights will be skills runs and qualifing matches. On the last night, teams will be interviewed by our judges and Engineering Notebooks will be examined. Additionally, we will start the night with Alliance Selection and run our Elimination Tournament to determine League Champions. Other judged awards will be determined accordingly. The nights of our league will be as follows:

Night #1 (Qualifiying): November 17, 2026 from 4:00pm to 8:00pm

Night #2 (Qualifying): December 15, 2026 from 4:00pm to 8:00pm

Night #3 (Qualifying): January 19, 2027 from 4:00pm to 8:00pm

Night #4 (Judging and Finals): February 16, 2027 from 4:00pm to 8:00pm

There is limited space in the classroom area where the competitions will be held. Thus this event will have no spectators allowed. League qualifying matches will be livestreamed via our Highland Robotics YouTube channel.
