Who we are

The people behind VEXAutoSort.

Four high schoolers, one robotic arm, and a shared hatred of sorting parts by hand.

Designs and prints the sorters, like the screw ramp and spacer tools that make the whole idea work.

Our why

It started at Worlds.

The idea hit while we were sorting parts by hand right before the 2026 VEX World Championships. We were about to move our whole lab for next season, and we wanted a way to never do this again, and maybe save other teams the same headache.
