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.

The Silver Owl 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 10 Week, 20h Vex Robotics Masterclass brings even complete beginners up to date with the foundations of build, design, and code.
Afterwards, we provide extensive world-class coaching throughout the entire season, in every aspect of robotics, from build and design to programming to game strategy.
Silver Owl only hires world-class coaches, who’ve competed in Vex Robotics at the highest level. Our coaches have not only made it to Vex Worlds themselves, but mentored top-tier teams who’ve become Provincial and Worlds Division Champions.
Members Obsessed
To become the best in any field requires an insane amount of dedication. We want members who are obsessive and are intent on achieving their full potential. We push our members to work as hard as possible and hold them accountable.
Great Environment
We form our teams carefully. We make sure our members are placed on teams where they can work the best.
