General Info

This is a SKILLS ONLY EVENT. Please check the website as the event date approaches for updates to the event.

Consent Forms: All participants must have a Participant Release Form on file. It is the responsibility of the Team’s Primary Contact to make sure this occurs. A link to the instructions on how to submit a Participant Release Form is found HERE.

Inspection: All teams must pass inspection to be allowed to compete in skills matches. Please be prepared and ensure that your robot will pass inspection BEFORE the competition by reviewing the INSPECTION CHECKLIST.

Tournament: Teams should carefully review the GAME MANUAL. Know the rules!!

Payment is due two weeks after a team is registered or immediately if after October 1 unless other arrangements are made with the EP.  All teams not paid after two weeks of registration will be moved to the waitlist and may be added back in, IF there is still room on the roster. If your registration payment process takes longer than two week, clear communication will keep teams from being moved to the Waitlist.
