General Info
This is a High School School in-person event! Any spots not filled by Delaware teams 2-week prior to the event will be offered to teams on the waitlist in order of the date/time they were added to the list.
We cannot run events without dozens of volunteers. We respectfully request that every team attending the event provides AT LEAST one full-day volunteer to ensure the event runs smoothly. Find out more on the ‘Volunteer’ tab.
Please be sure to read all of the event information contained on the Robot Events page. Some important highlights:
