The Introductory/Intermediate Bot Builders Camps are designed for students who have some or no VEX IQ experience. The camps will be very structured, with more building and programming instruction for the students. Campers will build a set robot and be guided through having it perform set tasks. In the Introductory/Intermediate Bot Builders Camp the end of camp competition may be the current season’s challenge or may be a previous season’s challenge (i.e. one which allows students to “compete” more successfully with the basic ClawBot robot built in the camp.

The Intermediate/Advanced Bot Builders Camps offer more creative freedom and are aimed at students who already have experience working with VEX IQ. The Intermediate/Advanced Bot Builders Camp often uses the current season’s challenge as the end of camp competition, to both expose campers to the current year’s game as well as allow campers a chance to come up with creative solutions to challenges posed in the current year’s game, which the campers could then take those ideas back and further develop if they participate in a league team.
