Program Development
The Beijing Academy VEX Robotics program began during the High Stakes season. At its very beginning, the team consisted of only Benjamin Jiang and a single competition team, 6353A. With no established system in place, many aspects of training, organization, and competition were explored for the first time.
As the in-class VEX elective was introduced in its first year, participation expanded rapidly to around thirty students. This marked a turning point for the program, allowing structured training to coexist with competitive preparation. Over time, the team grew to include additional competition teams, such as 6353B and the middle school team 20139A.
Throughout this period of growth, team members developed strong bonds through extensive training and shared competition experiences. Collaboration and mutual trust became defining characteristics of the team culture, contributing to consistent performance and a series of competitive achievements across events.
Entering the second year, the program faced a new beginning. As many founding members graduated, team composition evolved once again. Despite these changes, the Beijing Academy VEX Robotics Team continues to adapt, carrying forward experience and standards established in earlier seasons, with the goal of achieving even stronger results in the future.
Teams
Our history is carried by four competitive teams. Each team develops its own robot systems and season strategy, while sharing training standards, documentation practices, and a common engineering culture.
30721
The official high school team number for the Push Back season. While the team experienced changes in membership, it carried forward experience accumulated during the High Stakes season. Building on that foundation, the team continued to refine system integration, match execution, and consistency under competition constraints.
6353
The official high school team number for the High Stakes season. As the first team in the Beijing Academy VEX program, many aspects of competition were new in the inaugural year. Despite this, team members worked closely together, dedicating extensive time to training and preparation, which led to strong competitive results throughout the season.
