About AVR

​Advanced Vertical Robotics (AVR) is a national competition based in Texas open to highschoolers around the country. This is their sixth season running and our third participating. 

Succeeding in the competition requires incredible teamwork and commitment. Everybody has a part to play, and everybody plays it well.

2025 Competition

After last year's hurricane in Florida, the coast is strewn with debris. Our objective is to collect the debris while identifying and rescuing trapped people and animals. We have five minutes and six vehicles: the main AVR drone, the smaller DEXI drone, the Sphero RVR, and three Sphero Minis. For more information, check out the theavr.org!
