General Info

Welcome to the Arkansas VEX Robotics State Championship!

Important Team Information:

All teams MUST have their consent forms updated and uploaded to RobotEvents no later than 1 week prior to the event.

Digital Engineering Notebooks are required! Notebooks will be judged remotely and must be submitted by noon on Saturday, March 2nd to give judges enough time to look through them.

Spectators are allowed in the event, however, due to limited space all parents and spectators will be expected to stay in the stands for viewing. Only studens and their coaches will be allowed in the pit and competition areas. This will be monitored by the use of wrist bands.

  1. Event Region Championship spots that have not been awarded are not lost. These remaining spots will be awarded using the following process.
