Students in the competitive club typically spend about 4 to 8 hours a week, sometimes more on their bots, with most of the hours being flexible hours. 

 Competitions are a flurry of activity, with volunteer hours from technical professionals from the community, teachers and club sponsors from across the area,  as well as students from other clubs in the host school that are necessary to make them happen.  It takes a minimum of 15 volunteers to make it possible for even the smallest of these tournaments  happen. therefore family involvement is also needed to help keep the activities going and organized; however, the work on the robots is done by the students.

VEX is a competitive Robotics club for all West Students. Students in the club are also included in the schools Technical Student Association. It is a yearlong very involved club.
