Robotics Club
Jay County has one of the most competitive and sought after robotics teams in the nation. The high school teams are consistently rated in the top 25 in the World standings. We now have students from JCHS, West Jay and East Jay all competing together. We are unique in the fact that we allow East and West Jay students to compete side by side on the same team.
The Jay County Robotics Club focuses on building robots for the VEX Robotics Competition (VRC). The VEX Robotics Competition is a competition that is based on the principles of encouraging students to get careers in technology and engineering. What the students do for the competition is build robots that will play a game that is given to us by the VRC. There are also other things to aim for such as design awards, notebook awards, teamwork awards and many other awards that will recognize teams for their effort and following a design process.
Jay County Robotics Club travels around the state of Indiana and Ohio primarily. We hold two competitions at Jay County high school for the local public and other teams in the state. We also travel to the Indianapolis area and compete there for qualifying spots for the World Championships. The World Championships are in Louisville, KY.
The Jay County Robotics Club is funded by many gracious donors in the Jay County area. We proudly independently operate 100% self-funded.
Our high school students are excellent mentors for the middle school kids. The high school students are able to help the middle school students go through and figure out what they should build and how they can program it. This is a great asset to make the middle school students more competitive.
