VEX World Championship 2026 · St. Louis, Missouri

The only Romanian team in VEX U at Worlds

LoRIS team members took part in the VEX World Championship 2026 in St. Louis, Missouri, representing Romania as the only Romanian team in the VEX University category. Beyond the competition itself, it was a chance to build valuable connections with teams and members of the international VEX community, with whom we keep exchanging ideas.

What we do

From the first sketch to the competition field, every robot is designed, built and programmed by the team.

Our direction: autonomy

Robots that decide for themselves

Robotics and programming are at the heart of LoRIS. We put a lot of work into making our robots do as much as possible on their own — the goal is a robot that can play the game without a driver.
