RVA Robotics strives to provide VEX teams opportunities to compete in the greater Richmond and central Virginia area.

Despite the pandemic, we have been working hard to provide safe places for teams to compete. We have some great events planned for the 2020-2021 Rise Above season! Teams must register to compete at the events. Due to COVID restrictions, spectators are not allowed at events until further notice.
