General Info

Welcome to the 12th annual Space City VRC Middle School tournament! 

Space City has long been on the schedule annually for teams from across the state of Texas, and in recent years teams from across the country.  We are happy to welcome you to our home for the Space City Signature Event in 2025!  Space City is hosted at the Clear Creek ISD Robotics Event Center, the first dedicated space in the United States just for VEX Robotics Competitions.  The Robotics Event Center is home to over 30 VEX Robotics Competition events each year including the Texas Region 3 Championships, the RECF-UIL Texas High School Championships, Texas VEXU, and most recently the 2025 VEX AI World Championship.
