General Info

School City of Mishawaka will be hosting a VEX IQ league for elementary schools in and around Mishawaka. We want to provide a place for area teams to meet and collaborate. This is an invitational event, so you will need to add your teams to the waitlist.

The league consists of three regular afternoon sessions, each running 2-3 hours long, on December 5, 2024, January 14, 2025, and February 3, 2025.  The number of qualifying matches will be determined closer to the first event date.  Teams will be ranked throughout the season based on their qualifying matches.  The Finals Round will also be held on February 3, 2025.  

Robot Skills will be offered at each Session.  Each team will be given 3 programming and 3 driving opportunities per Session.  Finals night will include judged awards.

Judging - Engineering notebooks must be submitted on Robot Events by January 21, 2025. Judges will review notebooks prior to the final league session. In-person interviews will take place at the final session on February 3, 2025.
