The REC Foundation can support new schools to get involved in the VEX V5 Robotics Competition with a matching grant on their Robotics Kits!

A: Simple, just email emeasupport@recf.org saying you’re interested!

The Steps

1) Register two or more teams on Robot Events

You can register a team for this season of the VEX V5 Robotics Competition on robotevents.com. You can find the steps to do that here, or contact your regional support manager to help with this process.

2) Send a Purchase Order to the REC Foundation

Send us a Purchase Order that includes both the Registration Fees (£125 per team) and the number of VEX V5 Competition Starter Kits - SKU 276-7310 - that you wish to order, with the correct pricing. (For example, if you are registering 2 x teams and ordering 2 x kits, list the 1st kit at £999.99 and the 2nd one free.).

3) We will ship your new VEX V5 Competition Kits along with a Team Welcome Kit

Your robotics adventure can now begin! As a registered team you will be able to compete in as many regional events as you wish across the season. Each event gives teams an opportunity to qualify to the VEX UK National Championships!
