Thanks!

Emergency/Bad Weather Policy

In case of bad weather conditions or possible cancellations please visit the event on Robotevents.com, where I will post updates about the event status as needed. I will also attempt to send an email if a major schedule change occurs. Please feel free to contact me by phone (765-329-1991) if you are going to be late to the event. Match Lists will be generated at 9:30am and cannot be re-run.

Refund and Payment Policies

If the Event Partner cancels the event:

If the event is canceled (due to weather or some unforeseen circumstance), registrations fees will either be refunded (less the $5 processing fee) or credited toward future event registrations, whichever each individual team would prefer.

If a Coach/Mentor completes registration for the event then chooses to withdraw or not attend:

Please only register robot teams that intend to attend. Due to the limited space for events, we will not issue a refund for any other reason.

Payment Deadline is November 15th, 2025. Not paying by this date may mean that your team may be placed on the waitlist to make room for another team.

Judging Format

There will be no judging at this event.

12/12 Weather Update:

As of Friday afternoon, my weather apps are not indicating that we will have an issue starting on time. However, the drive home could be a bit sketchy, depending on when the snow hits and which direction your driving.

I will make an official call by 6:30am Saturday morning on weather we will be canceling altogether or not. If we do not cancel, we have a lot of local teams, but also a lot of teams from far north and far south coming...so make a judgment call based on the weather in your area. If you decide that it's unsafe for your team to make it home after this event, just text me in the morning and let me know!
