Understanding the VEX Robotics & RECF Transition
Beginning with the 2026–2027 season, VEX Robotics and the Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation are operating as separate organizations. With the transition, schools and teams now have the opportunity to choose the competition organization that best fits their program while continuing to use VEX products and resources.
As this transition continues, we encourage coaches to stay informed by reviewing updates directly from both organizations. TechPoint Youth remains committed to supporting Indiana educators and students by providing resources, training, and guidance regardless of where official updates originate.
