General Info
Welcome!
This is Minnesota's State Championship for VRC Middle School teams. This event is the largest event in Minnesota, with teams from high school, middle school, and elementary school competing under one roof at the St. Cloud River's Edge Convention Center.
As the Championship nears, coaches please watch for additional information via email. All the most up-to-date information regarding food, reminders, etc. will be published here on RobotEvents for teams and families.
