General Info

The USF Signature event is a world qualifying event and is open to teams from all over the world.  Please note: 

Only 75% of the teams can come from one region, so this means that a maximun of 45 teams from Florida, or any state or country, will be permitted to attend. The event is set at 45 with the event designed for 60 teams with 15 to come from the waitlist to balance this requirement----so when it reaches 45 just add your team to the waitlist. 

Currently we are initially allowing only three teams per school to enter, please add any additional teams from your school to the wiatlist as this may open up later.

Teams that move on to the World Championship in Louisville, Kentucky will be responsible for registering for the World Championship event promptly as they will only have ONE week to register AND pay before their invitation to Worlds is lost!  Hint--Plan to win--plan for success--Plan accordingly with your teams from day one to win state spots, win a spot at states and play in worlds!!  Plan to win both in spirit and financial planning!!  Understand the awards and all rules.  

The teams coach who is officially listed in robotevents as the primary contact receives all team emails, so read the email titles and content carefully.  

All attendees are expected to abide by the code of conduct  .
