The Smackover Robotics Program allows students the opportunity to design, build, and program a robot to perform a challenge. Students design their robots to compete against other area schools in VEX Robotics competitions, as well as entering BEST Robotics as of the 2023-2024 school year.

Robotics is not only the future, it is also the present. By familiarizing students with programming, sensors, and automation, they hone critical computational thinking skills needed to succeed in both the 21st century's workforce and in everyday life.

Beyond science and engineering principles, VEX Robotics solutions encourage creativity, teamwork, leadership, passion, and problem-solving among groups. That’s why VEX is committed to advancing robotics education as leaders in STEM, making it easy to implement and being your partner along the way!
