Health and Safety Policies
Corpus Christi is a welcoming coastal city, and tourist areas—especially around the bayfront festival grounds—are generally safe and family-friendly, with large crowds contributing to a lively but monitored atmosphere. Like any popular destination, standard precautions apply: travel with care, secure your valuables, stay hydrated in the warm Texas weather, and be aware of your surroundings in crowded spaces.
We recommend exploring the festival in pairs or groups, especially during evening events, and sticking to well-lit, populated areas. If you see something suspicious or need assistance, say something—immediately notify event staff, security personnel, or call 911. You can also report non-emergencies to the Corpus Christi Police Department or use local alert systems for updates.
Teams and spectators are encouraged to plan travel routes in advance (considering potential traffic during festival parades and events), use rideshares or shuttles when possible.
Your safety is our priority—let's make this a fun and memorable robotics showdown! For any concerns, contact us [email protected]

The two Division Finalists will then meet in the Finals — a best-of-three match series — to determine the event's Tournament Champion.
NOTE: Divisions may be combined if either Division fails to reach at least 30% of the event registration.
