General Info
We are excited to invite teams into our school this year!
The Pioneers Tournament will be a qualifying event for the SC Elementary VRC State Championship. If teams wish to be judged and in the running for Design and Excellence awards, teams should upload their Engineering Notebooks to their RobotEvents account by Feb. 1, 2025. 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.
When teams arrive at Heritage Elementary, they will follow the sidewalk to the left side of the building and enter into the cafeteria. Only registered team members and one coach will be allowed to pit, area around the gym floor, 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 cafeteria where competition will take place.
As of right now we plan to offer lunch, and snacks throughout the day.
