This is the 5th annual VEX Robotics High School Signature Event.  This event will be a qualifying event for the VEX Robotics World Championships. We would love your participation!

This event for high school will run for 3 days starting Friday, Feb 17th evening with optional skills/inspection, Feb 18 for qualifying and skills matches and Sunday, Feb 19 for qualifiying and elimination matches  ending at 1PM. We plan to have each team participate in 9-10 qualifying matches.

We strive to conduct the event in a safe manner. Please ensure you have read the Health and Safety Policies, for your own safety and others at the event.  We will update the travel section to provide information on discounted hotel rates as soon as we have it. We will be updating this section periodically with additional information on things to do. We will be adding more hotels to this page soon.  We have also made a lot of arrangements to have a fun and safe event for everyone.

No pre-qualification requirements to register for the event. If you have financial difficulty please send us email and we will support you on a case by case basis. 

Since this is an REC Foundation Signature Event, we are required to have a certain number of teams registered from outside of California for this Signature Event.
