معلومات عامة

Welcome!

This is Minnesota's State Championship for Minnesota 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.

Qualification

Teams will be sent an invite through VEX Events as they qualify at events throughout the season.  Teams will have 2 weeks to register before this invitation expires.  A team must have posted a skills score -OR- have competed in a qualifying event in the current season to be eligible for an Event Region Championship invitation.

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 VEX Events for teams and families. Additional information can be found on the VEX MN website.

Hotel Block

We do have a hotel block at the Best Western Plus Kelly Inn - mention VEX Robotics when booking to receive the block rate or book online through the direct link located on the "Travel Info" tab on this event page.

Registration Fee

All teams must have the registration fee paid prior to attending the State Championship.  Read more about the payment policy on the "Refund and Payment Policies" tab on this event page.

Competition Preparation

Teams should come prepared to compete.  Review the Override Game Manual, run through the Robot Inspection Checklist, and ensure your team is running the latest programming and firmware version and your Robot Brain has your team number.  We will be using the Smart Field Control.

Please note: We will be following an all in-person judging format.  Only physical copies of engineering notebooks will be collected during team check-in.  Teams who have digital notebooks will need to print off the most recent version for judges to review.  Judge interviews will take place in-person at the team's booth in the pit area.

Participation and Consent Form

All team members, coaches and adult mentors should fill out the online consent form which is good all season and for all Global Robotics run events.  Learn more about submitting the online consent forms. 

Lunch & Concessions

Lunch will be on your own.  No outside food can be brought into the Convention Center.  On-site concession information will be shared with teams prior to the Championship.

Elimination Matches

There will be 16 Elimination Alliances (32 Teams).  For elimination matches, per the Push Back Game Manual, "Elimination Matches are 'Best of 1' from the Round of 16 up through the Semifinals Matches.  The Finals Matches are played as 'Best of 3'".
