General Info

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Harvard-Westlake VEX V5 Robotics Middle School Only League.

We are excited to have you join us for the Push Back season! We will host three ranking sessions and one finals session. 

The goal of this league is to provide teams with a chance to experience competitions early in the season. Teams will have time between Qualifying Sessions to work on their robots and improve based on their learning. This will provide an early competition season outlet for teams to learn how their robot designs perform and how the High-Stakes rules are interpreted and applied during competitions. 

The events will take place on our Middle School Campus over four Fridays. See the Agenda for times.  

Event 1 - October 24th

Event 2 - November 7th

Event 3 - December 5th

Event 4 - January 16th

These events will take place in our robotics lab and maker space. Two fields are set up at all times, and we will have a skills field available during each session. 

Due to the limited space, we can not accommodate spectators, but we will livestream the event. Teams are allowed to bring up to 6 team members and a coach.  Please email the Event Partner if you have any questions or concerns.
