What is MVP? Welcome to Midwest Vex Programs (MVP). MVP is an organization based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that has evolved from the Milwaukee Vex League (MVL). The MVL is now a part of MVP, along with several other exciting leagues and events that utilize the Vex Robotics Design System.

What do we do?

The goal of the MVP is to promote robotics education through competition. The events are scheduled in the fall so that teams competing in other robotic competitions can participate and use the events as a training ground. League nights can combine information sessions about various robotics competition related topics, such as safety, mechanical design, and scouting, with exhibition competition, which gives teams multiple chances to test new designs.

What is FIRST?

The events are modeled after the FIRST Robotics Competition. Teams are randomly allied with other teams and must work together to accomplish exciting and difficult tasks. Partners in one match may be pitted against each other in the next, creating interesting strategic dynamics throughout the event. After a series of qualifying matches, the teams are ranked and then battle it out in an elimination tournament to determine a champion.
