To Pop Or To Be Popped

Get ready to enter the arena—Maker Club and AURA are hosting a high-energy Robot Balloon Battle! 💥

You'll get hands-on with VEX IQ robotics kits, working solo or in teams to build the ultimate balloon-popping bot. Once you're ready, it's game on in a round-robin showdown—your robot will go head-to-head with others in a chaotic clash of speed, strategy, and balloon warfare 🎈⚔️

We’ll bring the bots, balloons, and battle arena—you bring your creativity and competitive spirit. No prior experience needed. We'll teach you everything you need to know to get fighting-fit.
