Although the weather is extremely cold in our area, the event is still a GO. We look forward to seeing you Saturday. Please travel safely.

Thank you for your interest in the VIQRC Elementary Mix & Match Tournament hosted by Hudsonville Robotics!  This will be our 5th year hosting and we look forward to a fun and collaborative event.

Facility - The competition will be hosted in the Main Gym of Hudsonville High School conveniently located one mile north of I-196 just west of Grand Rapids, Mi. Ample parking is available on campus and there are also plenty of resturants and retail locations in the area.  

Competition - Teams will participate in qualification matches, skills events, in-person, printed notebook, judging near the pits, and Teamwork Challenge if qualified.  We will be following the rules in the latest release of the VEX IQ Game Manual.

Judging - We will be collecting Physical engineering notebooks at the start of this event for in-person judging. We will not be able to print notebooks for teams.

Pits - Tables, seating, one outlet at each table, and public WIFI will be provided. You may want to bring a power strip. 

Food - Teams are welcome to bring their own food.  Pizza orders - Teams can pre-order a 14" pizza for $15 cash - our volunteers will handle the order and have it delivered on time for lunch. We will not have a concession stand. 

Registration - All participating teams must be registered with VEX Robotics and the Robot Events website and have an official team number before registering for this event. Tournament fees must be paid before teams are allowed to compete. Registration and payments should be made through the Robot Events website.
