Worlds Division Champions
VEX Robotics World Championship · Dallas, TX
3150A won its division at the largest robotics competition on earth — thousands of teams, more than 40 countries, one week in Dallas.
Ontario runs one provincial championship a year. Silver Owl won it three years running, then went to Dallas and won a division at Worlds.
Every award won by a Silver Owl team since the club's first season. Filter by season or by level of competition.
Team numbers beginning with 3150 are Silver Owl teams; 2796V and 1165A are partner teams coached in our lab.
VEX judges more than the robot. The award list above is also a list of the things a student has to get good at — writing, presenting, designing, coding, building — to take one home.
The highest honour in VEX. Awarded to the strongest overall program at an event, judged on robot performance, the engineering notebook, and a panel interview.
The winning alliance of the elimination bracket. Two teams, working together, out of a field that can run past 60.
For the best engineering notebook and design process — months of documented sketches, tests, failures and revisions.
For the best autonomous programming: the fifteen seconds where the robot scores on its own, with nobody touching a controller.
For a genuinely original engineering solution — a mechanism the judges have not seen anyone else attempt.
For a robot that performs at a consistently high level in every phase of the game.
For craftsmanship: the cleanest, most robust, best-constructed machine at the event.
Highest solo score at the event — driver control and autonomous runs combined, no alliance partner to lean on.
