VEX Robotics — Canterbury, Kent
An independent student robotics team from Canterbury, competing to represent the UK at the VEX Robotics World Championship 2027.
For five years, our members competed with Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys as 23218X Fractal and 23218Y Nemesis. We have won multiple awards at regional and national level, placed top 5 in the UK on multiple occasions, and qualified for the World Championship in 2026.
This season we have gone independent, with no school affiliation. We are six of the most committed and competitive members of that programme, working to build our futures and compete at the highest level in VEX — the largest robotics competition in the world.
We are Team .exe: independent, self-directed, and entirely committed to qualifying for the VEX Robotics World Championship in 2027.
Recognising a robust, well-engineered robot built to perform under the rigours of national competition.

Going independent means we fund the season ourselves — parts, fields, entry fees and travel. Partners get their name on a robot that competes in front of thousands of students, families and engineers across the UK, and on the team that took it there.
In-kind support counts too. Materials, travel, merchandise production, or an engineer willing to mentor us for an afternoon — all of it moves us closer to Worlds. Tell us what you can offer and we'll work out the rest.
