Robotics programs · Grades K–12

Ten years of building, competing, and inventing

Every grade has a place here, from a first robot in elementary school to a college portfolio in high school.

  1. A young Robolabs student kneels on the VEX IQ field, driving the robot he built with a controller Grades K–6

    Start

    Build your first robots

    Little ones start with VEX 123 and VEX GO. Then kids build and code real robots with VEX IQ, VEX AIM, and FIRST LEGO League, and have a blast competing with their team.

  2. Three students check their VEX V5 robots on the competition field during a tournament as a Robolabs coach looks on Grades 7–12

    Compete

    Go head to head

    Students design, build, and program competition robots in VEX V5, FIRST Tech Challenge, and VEX AI, then take them to official tournaments.

  3. Robolabs Summer Academy students gather around a humanoid robot during a robotics lab visit at UC Berkeley High school

    Go further

    Invent, publish, apply

    High schoolers file patents and publish research papers, spend a week at UC Berkeley, and get personalized help with college applications.

What our families say

Parents on what their kids have gained, in their own words.

Google review · ★★★★★

What started as a little uncertainty eventually took him all the way to the state and national competitions and eventually the VEX World Championship.

My son has been part of VEX IQ through RoboLabs since grade 3… what really made a difference was being able to immediately apply what he was learning… He now wants to give back to the community himself. He enjoys helping younger students and teaching them how to think about designing for gameplay and strategy… He has now graduated to VEX V5 and is continuing his robotics journey with RoboLabs.

Kandha S.Parent · VEX IQ since grade 3, now VEX V5

  • Google review · ★★★★★

    Our 8-year-old has developed a genuine interest and excitement for robotics since joining the program.

    He is now building his own robots and beginning to understand the fundamentals of design, construction, problem-solving, and how different components work together… The instructors do a great job of making robotics fun, engaging, and educational while encouraging kids to think independently and creatively.

    Vivek G.Parent of an 8-year-old · Dublin

  • Both of our kids went to Dublin Robotics Club/Robolabs, started as team members at first but grew to team captains as the years passed.

    We saw their self-confidence significantly improve in and out in front of our eyes… Our elder son's team won the VEX VRC State Championship, and our younger son's team won multiple VEX awards and tournaments.

    Robolabs Dublin takes kids all the way from VEX IQ up to the metal V5 teams, so you're not switching programs every time your kid outgrows something.

    The coaches are the real reason this place works… Six years in, I've watched a lot of beginners walk in knowing nothing and end up competing at the national and world level. If your kid is even a little interested in robotics, this is the place to start.

    Ansh J.Student · six years at Robolabs

  • …both girls look forward to the class every weekend, and they don't want to leave when class time ends!

    I have two daughters going to Dublin Robotics Club/Robolabs, starting from summer camp and later on continuing with the weekly weekend class. Both enjoy the class very much… I am very grateful for all the support and encouragement from the owner and coaches for both of my daughters. Thank you very much!

    Our family has been part of Dublin Robotics' journey for nearly 10 years, since its inception, and the experience has been truly rewarding.

    My older son developed strong engineering, problem-solving, and cognitive skills through designing and building robots… My younger son currently attends Dublin Robotics and is also completing an internship there… As a parent, I wholeheartedly recommend Dublin Robotics to other families.

    Ram R.Parent of two · nearly 10 years

  • Both my kids go to Dublin Robotics Club/Robolabs and they absolutely love it. They have been going there for 5 years plus and it has been a great experience.

    Robolabs' team is great to work with, they are patient and very helpful. The kids love it because they are given the independence to build out the robots with their team and at the same time actively participate in multiple competitions… If you are thinking of getting your kids to explore or they have been doing it for a while, I would highly recommend checking them out.

    SabeehParent of two · 5+ years

  • Our daughter has been with Dublin Robotics Club/Robolabs for a number of years now… the club has greatly developed her confidence.

    The staff are extremely friendly and are always ready to support the kids in their quests to develop competitive robots.
