Not only does VEX robotics Teams compete head to head in these tournaments they also compete against each other in online challenges. 10 D Imensional is currently competing in two of these online challenges and have submitted three videos for them. The two challenges they have chosen to compete in is the VEX Promotion Challenge and the VEX Education challenge.

In the Promote Challenge, teams compete to produce a video that promotes VEX robotics.
