General Info

Trailblazer Robotics is thrilled to present this VEX IQ Scrimmage for Middle and Elementary School students.

This event is intended as a fun, low-stakes opportunity for teams to explore new ideas and strategies.

Keep an eye out for the new relaxed rules that will be shared soon—we can’t wait to see all the creative and innovative robot designs you come up with!
