The format of this event will be Remote, Skills-Only, with remote judging.
This will be a unique experience! For more information and details, keep reading!
Due to COVID-19, there are a few key differences in how this event will be played:
Because of the online format, this event is held as a "Skills-Only" event.
This means that you will only play skills matches: driver and autonomous (no teamwork matches).
Each team will have the chance to play 3 driver skills matches and 3 autonomous matches throughout the event.
The robot with the highest skills score will win the event!
We will send out match schedules once all of the teams have joined the meeting.
This VEX IQ competition will be held entirely through Zoom. Before the event, I will send you the meeting link and password.
This means that you will need to have:
1. A device capable of joining a Zoom meeting with video;
2. A field and game elements to play matches on; and
3. The ability to compete under the Remote, Live Skills conditions described in the Game Manual: https://content.vexrobotics.com/docs/viqc-rise-above/VIQC-Game-Manual-08172020.pdf
We will be running matches live, and teams will be able to live stream their matches into Zoom. Per the Game Manual, the Head Referee will be a certified referee for this remote event.
To be ready for this event, there is not much you will need to do other than build a robot and practice.
Verify that you have access to the following, on the day of the event:
NOTE: Be sure to complete a consent release form for all participants - you can find it here.
Teams should plan to log into the Zoom meeting before 8:45 AM.
If you're not there at 8:45 AM, we will contact you to make sure that you are still planning to attend. We plan to start promptly at 8:55 AM and need time to prepare match schedules and coordinate check-in and verification.
Teams must be paid two weeks prior to the event. Teams not paid at this time may be dropped at the event partner's discretion to allow teams in from the waitlist. Refunds are not typically offered, but if you have a special case, please just let us know and we will see what we can do.
