Allgemeine information
The Tennessee V5RC Middle School State Championship: High Stakes Edition will be held on March 14 & 15 at the Winfield Dunn Center on the campus of Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee. The annual championship brings together the top VEX V5 Robotics Competition teams from all corners of Tennessee to celebrate their accomplishments and be crowned State Champions.
Teams will be invited to the State Championship from local qualifying events held in Tennessee by March 1, 2025.
-
Teams that qualify for the State Championship on or before January 31, 2025 will have two weeks to register and pay by credit card, check, or purchase order.
-
Teams that qualify for the State Championship on or after February 1, 2025 will have one week to register and pay by credit card, check, or purchase order.
-
Qualified teams that have not paid by February 28, 2025 will be removed from the roster and that spot will be offered to the next eligible team from the Worlds Skills Standings.
Any State spots not awarded at local qualifying events at the end of the season will be awarded to the next highest non-qualified Tennessee team from the World Skills List. Teams invited through the World Skills Standings are invited the week of March 3, 2025, in ranked order after the results of the last qualifying event in Tennessee has been posted. Skills scores earned after March 1, 2025 will not be used to qualify teams to the State Championship.
VEX Robotics World Championship
Teams earning one of the six (6) Worlds Qualifying Spots at the Tennessee State Championship will be invited to compete in the VEX Robotics World Championship to be held in Dallas, Texas in May 2025. Additional spots may be allocated on or before January 17, 2025, based on team growth in Tennessee.
If a team double qualifies (wins multiple Worlds qualifying awards) at the State Championship, a VEX Robotics World Championship invitation will be awarded to the next highest team from the Robot Skills Challenge at the Tennessee State Championship who did not win a qualifying award.
Teams will have two (2) weeks from receiving their VEX Robotics World Championship qualification invitation to register. Teams are encouraged to proactively seek approval from their educational institutions to make Worlds travel arrangements easier upon qualification. VEX Robotics World Championship event pages will be released in RobotEvents during the Fall of 2024.
Needs-Based Accomodations
Special Accommodation requests fall into three categories: Industry Certification testing accommodations, ASL interpreter accommodations, and game/event accommodations. Each category has a different timeline for processing. All accomodations must be pre-approved through RECF.

Reiseinformationen
Travel and lodging information will be added soon.
A note about entering campus (maps coming soon!):
Parking at the Winfield Dunn Center is most accessible in the Drane Street Parking Lot. GPS directions are NOT recommended, especially for large vehicles, as it will route you through residential and very hilly neighborhoods. It is recommended that teams enter the campus from College Street and turn north on Drane Street arriving at the Dunn Center on the left and the tennis courts on the right. The Drane Street parking lot will be just past the tennis courts. Unloading will be on the north side of the Dunn Center.
