General Info

This is a South Florida State Qualifying ‘High Stakes’ event for the 2024-25 year. It will be held at Miami Coral Park Senior High in the Gynasium (8865 SW 16 St.). Spectators are welcome (no fee), and VOLUNTEERS are even more welcome (contact [email protected]

All attendees are expected to abide by the code of conduct. All participants are expected to complete the participant release form which can be submitted ONLINE by the team coach for this and future events!  

If your team is fortunate enough to win a South Florida Event Region Championship spot from this (or any) qualifying competition, you will have two weeks to register and pay for it. Failure to register and pay within two weeks of the competition date where the state championship spot was earned forfeits your teams state spot--so be sure and plan ahead to register and pay on time.   

Teams are responsible to have teams registered and fees paid two weeks following earning the state championship spot, unless of course the event you win a state spot at is in the final two weeks before states, in which case you must be prepared to pay immediately following that event.   

**The State qualifying Skills score cut off will be two weeks prior to the Event Region Championship (ERC).  The number of teams coming qualifying from the skills list is based on open spots after all events have completed two weeks prior to the ERC.  While teams at events now fill double qualified spots from skills at the event, there will still be teams winning spots from multiple competitions, these additional spots come from the top combined skills scores (performed at the same event) to teams who have not yet won a spot for a ERC as in previous years.  Teams that qualify from the states skills list will have a short time to register and pay for ERC, please plan accordingly and be prepared for a potential invitation two weeks prior to the state championship. 

Teams that move on to the World Championship in Dallas, Texas will be responsible for registering for the World Championship event promptly as they will only have ONE week to register AND pay before their invitation to Worlds is lost!  Hint--Plan to win--plan for success--Plan accordingly with your teams from day one to win state spots, win a spot at states and play in worlds!!  Plan to win both in spirit and financial planning!!  Understand the awards and all rules.  Contact Ulrika Peroni if you need any assistance on understanding awards or qualifying for the ERC or the VEX Robotics World Championship.  [email protected] 

The teams coach who is officially listed in robotevents as the primary contact receives all team emails, so read the email titles and content carefully.

Volunteer

YES! We do need volunteers! 

Volunteers are the heart of every VEX competition--without them the event simply cannot function. In a perfect world, every robot team would provide at least 2 adult volunteers at every event. 

There are lots of different roles that need to be filled, with varying degrees of expertise and physical activity. Check out the 'Volunteers' tab at  https://www.roboticseducation.org/ for an overview of the various volunteer roles. 

PLEASE have one or two of your team parents email me at [email protected] with the subject "Volunteer for JingleBots" in the subject line. I will get back to them ASAP, and thanks in advance!!
