VRC Age and Team Clarifications

Student – A person is considered a Student if they meet both of the following criteria: 

1. Anyone who is earning or has earned credit toward a high school diploma, certificate, or other equivalent during the six (6) months preceding the VEX Robotics World Championship. Courses earning credits leading up to high school would satisfy this requirement. 

2. Anyone born after May 1, 2004 (i.e., who will be 19 or younger at VEX Worlds 2024). Eligibility may also be granted based on a disability that has delayed education by at least one year. 

• Middle School Student – A Student born after May 1, 2008 (i.e., who will be 15 or younger at VEX Worlds 2024). A Middle School Student may “play up” and compete as a High School Student. 

• High School Students – Any eligible Student that is not a Middle School Student.

Team – One or more Students make up a Team. 

• A Team is classified as a Middle School Team if all members are Middle School Students. 

• A Team is classified as a High School Team if any of its members are High School Students, or if the Team is made up of Middle School Students who declare themselves “playing up” as High School Students by registering their Team as a High School Team. 

 Once a Team has competed in an event as a High School Team, that Team may not change back to a Middle School Team for the remainder of the season. Teams may be associated with schools, community/youth organisations, or groups of neighbourhood Students. In the context of this Game Manual, Teams contain three types of Student roles related to Robot build, design, and programming. See and for more information. Adults may not fulfil any of these roles.
