Attention Teams:

You are registering for a 2026-27 VEX V5 Competition that is posted during the 2025-26 season. The Competition at the Automate Show will utilize the new VEX V5 game for the 2026-27 season. This competition is posted early so you can register and plan in advance due to the short robot build time.
