Team 3142C
A competition robotics team driven by a passion for engineering and problem-solving. We design, build, and program robots to compete at the highest level — from rapid prototyping to competition-day performance.
01 / The Team
Built for Competition
Team 3142C is a VEX Robotics team led by Henry Van Ness. We believe in rapid prototyping, rigorous testing, and sharing knowledge with the community.
Our software stack includes PALE — a confidence-gated localization system — and RouteLab, our custom autonomous route planning tool.
02 / The Robot
Precision & Performance
Our robots are designed for one thing: performance. From autonomous routines developed in RouteLab to driver-controlled precision, every part is optimized for competition.
