The future of flight is evolving and so are STEM-based competitions. The 2021 BELL Vertical Robotics Competition (BELL VRC) will include students representing high schools from across Texas (and beyond) with 3 regional competition events (2 in the DFW area and 1 in the Austin, TX area) with each event having 20 high school teams participating.  These teams, led by coaches, mentors and teachers will design, build and test their solutions to achieve the competition Search & Rescue Challenge. Details about the new competition season will be available soon! To earn success, teams will have 8 weeks to work together in a collaborative manner to optimize their design solutions with Robotics, Actuation, Mechanisms, Coding and Autonomy to achieve the mission.
