General Info
Dunedin High School's Engineerign|Robotics group welcomes you to our very first tournament. PLEASE NOTE NEW DATE OF FEBRUARY 1ST, 2025
The Tournament is open to all high school VRC teams. Our high school is also an NJROTC school, so we extend a special invitation to other V5RC JROTC teams to join us!
The event is hosted at Dunedin High school, not far from our downtown area, beaches (Clearwater beach, Honeymoon Island and the Causeway) and just south of Tarpon Springs. So many places to visit in addition to participating in the event, or a place for families to roam while the event is taking place.
Details about which building the event will take place, where to park, when to arrive and what food offerings will all be communicated at a later date.
We look forward to a fun and exciting time with all of you.
