Informacje ogólne
The countdown is on for the 8th Annual WAVE at WPI, and we're excited to welcome everyone back for an unforgettable event! WAVE is a 2.5 day event from December 3rd through 5th, hosted in Harrington Auditorium at WPI in Worcester, MA.
WPI is a nationaly recognized science and engineering university that focuses on project-based learning. WPI was the first university in the United States with a Robotics Engineering bachelors of science degree, and WPI has been hosting robotics events on campus for over 20 years. Teams attending WAVE will have an opportunity to tour WPI and see some of our robotics labs. All VEX participants (HS Seniors) are eligible to apply for the WPI VEX Scholarship.

Day one of the event is check-in, inspection, practice, and skills. We suggest teams looking to attempt all their skills runs plan on runnning most of them on the first day. The other two days will be qualifications, followed by alliance selection and elimination matches on Saturday. Teams are expected to attend the competition on all days, but at a bare minimum must attend Friday and Saturday to compete.
Payment deadline for the event is October 5th. If your school or orginization requires a lengthy period to process payment or cut a check, please start this process as soon as your teams have registered. Reach out to [email protected] if payment is going to be delayed.
Please note that WAVE at WPI 2025 filled within approximately 15 minutes of the event opening. If your teams would like to attend, please be sure to sign up at right when the event registration period opens!
