About the Team

We are NEXUS, a VEX Robotics team inspired by the idea of a constellation, where individual stars connect to form something greater together. Just like a constellation, every member of NEXUS has a different role, but we are connected by teamwork, creativity, and a shared goal. We live by the quote, “Reach for the stars. If you fall, you land on the clouds.” It represents our mindset to aim high, take on challenges, and keep moving forward even when things do not go as planned.

About this Season

This season’s game, VEX V5 Robotics Competition: Override, is played on a 12-by-12-foot field with two alliances, red and blue, each made up of two teams. Each match begins with a 15-second Autonomous Period, followed by a 1-minute 45-second Driver-Controlled Period. Teams score by placing and stacking Pins and Cups on Goals, setting Toggles to their alliance color, and ending the match with their robot in the contested Midfield. Robots are limited to possessing a maximum of one Pin and one Cup at a time, which makes fast cycling and efficient mechanisms especially important. Yellow Pins also depend on ownership: in a quadrant, they only score when the corresponding Toggle is set correctly, while yellow Pins in the Midfield can be owned through a robot finishing there. Teams can also earn an Autonomous Bonus and complete specific tasks for an Autonomous Win Point, so Override requires teams to balance scoring, field control, autonomous programming, and endgame positioning.
