General Info
Welcome to the McCallum Robo Bonobos Vex SKILLS ONLY Tournament!
Texas Region 4 event
This is a last chance event for V5RC Texas Region 4 High School teams that have not yet qualified for the HS Regional Championship. Please do not register teams that do not match these criteria.
Teams from outside the region, MS teams, and teams that have already qualified for the Region 4 High School Championship may sign up on the waitlist for this event.
Verify with your RSM that any scores at this event will be accepted outside Texas Region 4.
The event will be broken into 3 sessions to shorten the day for teams (see adgenda for times.) When registering, please mail [email protected] with two sessions your team can attend. Teams are welcome to stay longer, but space in the workroom is limited.
The venue will be room 147, where there will be a pit area and a single field. Although teams will get a short practice time, there will not be a practice field. Come prepared.
In-person viewing of the field will be very limited, as the field room is small. The event will be live streamed.
