This is open to any New England VEX IQ Team registered with RECF. Sorry, we are not accepting teams from outside of New England.
Cost:
The $30 fee covers ALL 4 sessions!
How to Register - Add yourself to the waitlist
Since this event is allowing teams from multiple regions (NH/VT, SNE and CT), teams need to add themselves to the waitlist. Once I confirm you are a team from one of the New England regions, your team will be added to the event. If you have any questions about this, call or email me at louann_cormier@roboticseducation.org

What do I need to participate?
To be ready for this event, there is not much you will need to do other than build a robot and practice.
Verify you will have access to the following:
How will this work?
Teams will log into zoom at their scheduled time. Coaches will sign up for a time slot the week before the league session.
Teams will be inspected by a referee through zoom
Teams will then complete their driver and programming skills runs while the referee is watching and scoring.
What if I miss a week?
That's the beauty of this format. If you are unable to participate in a week, that is okay. Just join us for the next one. Ideally, we hope you will join all 4 sessions, but if you miss a session, that's okay too. We understand a team may suddenly not be able to participate due to COVID/Quarantine/School policies. This is supposed to be fun and flexible.
Will this help me qualify for State/Regionals/World Championships?
YES! While the details are still to be worked out, SKILLS scores that are posted to the Global Skills Ranking are a vital part of our region’s qualification process.
