These teams will compete in a multi-day tournament that will bring in over three hundred and fifty robotics teams from all over the world to compete in three divisions.

The CREATE US Open VEX Tournament will be comprised of 200 high school teams and 100 middle school teams divided into divisions by classification. Two VEX teams from Greenville High School, the Iron Cowboys  4148A and 4148B, will be competing in the High School Division.
