General Info

Welcome to the AHS Eagle Nation Challenge!

MIDDLE AND HIGH COMBINED ONCE AGAIN :)

Originally we planned to host two separate events simulataneously in our one large gym.  However, due to some requests from across the other side of the state, I have recombined our middle and high school teams into a blended event.  We still plan to have a good turn out and to fill the state's largest venue!  We have a large gym with balcony seating for all teams to be right in the middle of the action throughout the entire tournament.  Skills fields will be running all throughout the tournament and will continue up to the end of the qualification rounds.  Interviews will be conducted by local engineers and former robotics students just like you!  Thank you for registering for this event and be ready for a great competition and year. 

Food
One pizza per team will now be INCLUDED with your registration fees.  Additional pizzas can be ordered for just $10 per pizza.

Drinks will be available at our fully stocked concession stand complete with hamburgers, hotdogs, popcorn, and snacks for alternative options.  Pizza orders will be taken the week before the competition.

Looking forward to it and please don't hesitate to ask any questions via email.

Good luck!
