General Info
This is a Middle 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:
- All teams participating in this event are expected to follow the RECF Student Centered Policy (https://vrc-kb.recf.org/hc/en-us/articles/9654578622487-Student-Centered-Policy) - NO adult designed, built, or programmed robots. Teams found to be violating the student-centered policy will be submitted to RECF for review and the outcome of that review may impact ability to participate in future events.
