A Day of Growth Through Practice and Play

In a celebration of collaboration and learning, TechBlazers Robotics Center recently hosted a VEX IQ Training & Friendship Scrimmage, welcoming four motivated teams to our Richmond Hill facility for a day packed with hands-on learning, strategy development, and supportive peer engagement.

This wasn’t about trophies—it was about progress. Teams took the opportunity to simulate real competition conditions in a low-pressure environment. They tested autonomous programs, refined build designs, and explored new game strategies together.

From sharing tools to sharing tips, every interaction encouraged teamwork and innovation. The result? A day of technical growth, problem-solving, and mutual encouragement.

Lessons Beyond the Arena

While the matches were friendly, the learning was real:

  • Adapting quickly to live match conditions
  • Strengthening team communication under pressure
  • Iterating robot design with real-time feedback
  • Offering support to peers and learning from one another

This is what makes scrimmages so valuable: authentic, experience-driven learning where students are both teachers and learners.

Why VEX IQ Matters

The VEX IQ platform builds more than robots. It cultivates core 21st-century skills that prepare students for real-world challenges:

  • Critical Thinking & Problem Solving: Students troubleshoot mechanical issues, optimize code, and rework strategies on the fly.
  • Communication & Collaboration: Every great robot is powered by great teamwork.
  • Leadership & Ownership: Whether coding, driving, or documenting, students take initiative and work as a unit.
  • University & Career Readiness: Participation in robotics lays a strong foundation for high school, university, and future careers in STEM.
