Tournament Setup:

  • Teamwork Challenge: We will have 2 fields set up for the Teamwork Challenge, ensuring plenty of opportunities for teams to compete and showcase their collaboration skills.
  • Skill Challenge: 1 field will be dedicated to the Skill Challenge, where teams can demonstrate their robot’s capabilities in individual performance tasks.
  • Practice Field: A practice field will be available for teams to fine-tune their robots before their official matches. Teams are also welcome to bring their own practice fields if they wish.

Blended Event:

  • This tournament is a blended event, welcoming both Middle School and Elementary School teams. This structure encourages a diverse range of participants, fostering an environment where younger and older students can learn from each other and compete together.

Lunch Arrangements:

Initial Interviews:

  • An initial interview will be conducted online two weeks before the tournament date. Teams will be contacted to select a convenient time for this remote interview. This is an important part of the competition, so please ensure your team is prepared and available.

Engineering Notebook Submission:

  • Engineering notebooks will only be accepted in digital form for this tournament. If your team maintains a physical notebook, please scan it into a PDF format and submit it through the REC website. This will allow us to efficiently review your work.

We’re excited to host this event and look forward to seeing the creativity and innovation your teams will bring to the competition. If you have any questions or need further information, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
