General Info

We are excited to host our annual Vex IQ tournament!

The Blue Ridge High School IQ Tournament will be qualifying event for the SC MS IQ State Championship.  Teams should upload their Engineering Notebooks to their RobotEvents account by December 7th, 2024.  This will allow the judges more time to review the notebooks and to prepare for interviews that will take place on the day of the event.  Interviews will be held in the Pits on Saturday morning.  A set schedule and agenda will be sent out to all coaches a week before our event! 

When teams arrive at Blue Ridge High School, they will enter through the back side of the school, at the gym, not the front of the school.  Only registered team members and one coach will be allowed to pit, area in the gym, tables will be set up and labled with team numbers.  All other people associated with the teams including parents, siblings, and other spectators must remain in the stands or hallway.
