Origin Story
First Year.
Fifth Grade.
Worlds Bound.
No one expected a team of 5th-graders in their inaugural season to walk away from the Kansas VEX IQ State Championship with a World's Qualifier Design Award. One of the most prestigious recognitions in Vex robotics.
Challenger November didn't just show up. They studied, iterated, documented, and outperformed. From Goddard, Kansas to the 2026 VEX Robotics World Championship in St. Louis. This is what the underdog story looks like when the students are built different.
