Welcome to Vex IQ @ Fayetteville.  

We are excited to welcome everyone back for the 2024-25 season.  As always, we will try to run a fun and relaxed event.  

Volunteers are welcome, and can sign up at FayettevilleRobotics.com

REMINDER:  Notebooks must be submitted digitally, a minimum of 24 hours prior to the event.  Notebooks will be judged in their digital format by the juding crew.

Judges interviews will be SCHEDULED.  We tested this at the end of the 23-24 season, and it worked amazingly well.  These scheduled interview times will coincide with the morning Skills portion, and you will receive your interview schedule at the event.

This event is currently slated to be a mixed event.  If we have enough Elementary vs Middle School teams, we will split the Excellence award, to provide 1 excellence award for Middle School, and 1 Excellence award for Elementary.
