General Info

Cambrian College is excited to host its second VEX Robotics Competition! This event presents an incredible opportunity for middle school and high school teams from all over Ontario to showcase their skills and compete in various robot challenges. By participating in this competition, students will not only gain practical experience but will also engage with all facets of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).

The Cambrian College V5RC, MS and HS High Stakes Tournament will occur on Friday, January 10th & Saturday, January 11th, 2025, at Cambrian College, 1400 Barrydowne Rd., Sudbury, Ontario, P3A 3V8.

We're working on making this event bigger than last year, with more sponsored prizes and even more reasons to visit Sudbury.  As you can see above, our event has expanded to 1-1/2 days.  Please note that Judge Interviews will take place on Friday, January 10th, starting at 4:00 pm.  We have some other exciting activities lined up for participants and their guests on Friday evening while teams wait to meet with the judges.

By moving the Judge Interviews to Friday evening, we can get started earlier on Saturday morning for the main Qualification matches and Skills competitions.  Please review the agenda and ensure that you arrive in Sudbury on time for judging.  A judging schedule will be provided closer to the competition date.

PLUS, attend our event and get entered for a chance to win a $2,000 scholarship to Cambrian College!
