Volunteer
We have various positions for volunteers ranging from high school age to adult for novice to expierienced volunteers. We will be posting a volunteer signup web page in late September.
We do prefer to have official roles represented from multiple organizations attending our tournament. Teams like to see their own volunteers as referees and judges, as it demonstrates a better level of fairness. If you have a qualified volunteer that can offer their time for this event, then please email us at [email protected].
Emergency/Bad Weather Policy
In case of bad weather conditions or possible cancellations please visit this page on Robotevents.com or hudsonvillerobotics.com where we will post updates about the event status as needed.
Refund and Payment Policies
Refunds are available for the full amount minus the $5 RECF fee to teams that cancel at least two weeks prior to the event date. Refunds can be held until initial payment is confirmed and reconciled.
