General Info

Please Join STEM Southwest Podcast and Be Greater Than Average, LLC as we present a VEX IQ Scrimmage Event with skills challenges and practice matches! 

Scrimmages are non-qualifying events (tournaments or leagues) that give teams an additional opportunity to test their robot designs. Scrimmage results do not upload to RobotEvents.com and are not listed on the VEX Via app.

Judging for notebooks and interviews will NOT be done at this scrimmage event.

We will have referees at the Scrimmage event to help teams understand any possible questions about the game rules. All matches will be practice matches and practice skills. They will be run AS IF it is real but scores will not be submitted. This is to help teams with actual competition and to make sure they are understanding the game rules.

It will be expected that teams will follow the REC Code of Conduct at all times.

Please read these documents prior to the event:

Below are some important links. This rest of year's game documentation can be found HERE.

VIQC Full Volume Game Manual - Please note the Specific Game Rules and Game Set Up starting on page 25!

VIQC Robot Inspection Checklist - We will provide a sizing tool, but it is wise to always have your own sizing tool.

INSPECTION: can be done at a team's request. A table will be available with an inspector to answer any questions about the robot's set up.

Practice Matches and Practice Skills will begin as soon as teams are ready. A referee will be at the fields to run matches and skills to answer any questions regarding competition and skills plays.
