Our Team Structure
We Carefully Assign Students To One Of Our Four Different Teams Based On Skill Level And Experience
VEX High School Teams
VEX Middle School Teams
FLL Teams
VRC.. What Is It Exactly?
VRC (VEX Robotics Competition) brings STEM skills to life!
VRC is for students from grades 6 to 12. Students join a team, build and program robots, and compete with teams all across Canada and the world. Robots compete in a game field in a 2v2 match, with the goal to outscore their opponents with their alliance partner. There are many tournaments throughout the year to participate in, eventually culminating in the Vex Worlds, where the best teams in the world compete.
More than 11,500 teams around the world compete in VRC. VRC is a fantastic way to introduce yourself to STEM, engineering, and computer science.
Beginner Friendly, Yet Competitive
Learn About Our Two Main Member Profiles
Beginner
If you’re an absolute beginner and feel VEX Robotics might be too challenging or that you don’t have any experience, do NOT worry! Our club is great at accommodating beginners through our extensive training program and high-quality coaching. After going through our training, you’ll probably start off on a learning team so you and your teammates can learn the foundation of Vex Robotics together before you move to advanced.
Experienced
If you’re already experienced (have done VEX Robotics for at least one season) and decide to join, you’ll probably start off on a high-performing, experienced team. You should still attend part of our training program to make sure you have the proper foundation, as our lessons include insights and secrets that very few teams actually know.
Our Unique Methodology
At Silver Owl Robotics, we have one goal… Do robotics at the Highest Level. We want every member in our club to win tournament after tournament, award after award, and make it to the highest stage of Vex Robotics… Worlds.
Our 3 pillars to success are:
Extensive Coaching System
Our organized lesson and member onboarding system brings even complete beginners up to date with the foundations of build, design, and code.
We only hire world-class coaches who’ve competed themselves in VEX Robotics at the highest level, and coached world-class teams.
When you join Silver Owl, our coaches spend a ton of time with you and your team for the entire season, on every single aspect of the Vex competition: Building, Design, Programming, and Game Strategy.
Member Obsession
Silver Owl Robotics is obsessed about getting fantastic results in robotics. We make sure our members are completely covered in parts and supplies, coaching, and teams.
Our club is open almost all the time, even throughout most holidays, so you can come whenever you want and work for as long as you want. We don’t want anything to hold back you and your team from fulfilling your full potential.
Great Environment
Silver Owl Robotics prioritizes QUALITY OVER quantity. We’d rather have less members who are more passionate about robotics, which promotes more organized club and great club culture.
With a culture of dedication and obsession among our members, our club is a great place for aspiring engineers to hone their robotics and programming skills.
You get to work in a focused-driven and passionate environment, network with other aspiring engineers and make new friends & connections, and most importantly, have FUN while being productive.
Our FLL Program
The FIRST LEGO League (FLL) program is an exciting opportunity for young minds to explore the world of robotics, innovation, and teamwork. Designed for students aged 9-16, FLL challenges participants to build and program robots using LEGO Mindstorms technology, while also tackling real-world problems through research and creative solutions. Teams work together to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, culminating in regional and global competitions.
