Información general

Welcome!

Volunteers are needed for flipping the venue from VRC to IQ on Friday night. Teams who arrive early and have at least 2 team members volunteer will get their registration money refunded (minus $5.00 processing fee from RECF).

As the tournaments nears, coaches please watch for additional information via email.  All the most up-to-date information regarding food, reminders, etc. will be published here on RobotEvents for teams.

Hotel Block: We do have a hotel block at the Best Western Plus Kelly Inn - mention VEX Robotics when booking to receive the block rate.

Registration Fee: All teams must have the registration fee paid prior to attending the State Championship.  

Competition Preparation: Teams should come prepared to compete.  Review the Over Under Game Manual, run through the Robot Inspection Checklist, and ensure your team is running the latest programming and firmware version and your Robot Brain has your team number.  We will be using the Smart Field Control.

Please note: We will be following an all in-person judging format.  Only physical copies of engineering notebooks will be collected during team check-in.  Teams who have digital notebooks will need to print off the most recent version for judges to review.  Judge interviews will take place in-person at the team's booth in the pit area.

Participation and Consent Form: All team members, coaches and adult mentors should fill out the online consent form which is good all season and for all RECF run events.  A link to the instructions for online consent form can be found here

Lunch & Concessions: Lunch will be on your own.  No outside food can be brought into the Convention Center.  On-site concession information will be shared with teams prior to the Championship.

Elimination Matches: For elimination matches, per the Over Under Game Manual, "Elimination Matches are 'Best of 1' from the Round of 16 up through the Semifinals Matches.  The Finals Matches are played as 'Best of 3'".
