Welcome to the 11th annual Space City VRC High School tournament!
Space City has long been on the schedule annually for teams from across the state of Texas, and in recent years teams from across the country. We are happy to welcome you to our home for the first Space City Signature Event in 2024! Space City is hosted at the Clear Creek ISD Robotics Event Center, the first dedicated space in the United States just for VEX Robotics Competitions.
