Allgemeine information

This is the 1st annual Rumble in the Rockies Signature Event, though we have previously ran this event in the summer as a showcase event at a theme park here in Utah. This event will be a qualifying event for the VEX Robotics World Championships. We would love your participation!

This event for is for both high school and middle school teams. It will run for 2 days starting Friday, January 26th and Saturday, 27th. Please see the agenda for more details. We plan to have each team participate in 8-10 qualifying matches, depending on the number of teams that register and division requirements. We are planning to run two divisions if we get over 50 teams registered. if we get enough middle school teams we will also offer a middle school excellence award.

Event hosts should continually assess, based on current government guidelines, whether to postpone, cancel, or significantly reduce the number of attendees when necessary.

We will update the travel section to provide information on discounted hotel rates as soon as we have it. We will be updating this section periodically with additional information on things to do. We will be adding more hotels to this page soon. We have also made a lot of arrangements to have a fun and safe event for everyone. We also hope to cooridinate with some of the local Ski Resorts to get discount passes so that those that want to extend their stay can see some of the beauty of the mountains in Utah.

Discounted Hotels: Please see the travel section to see the exclusive discounted rates we are offering for teams traveling to the signature event.

Since this is an REC Foundation Signature Event, we are required to have a certain number of teams registered from outside of Utah for this Signature Event.
