General Info
Welcome to the 10th annual West Virginia VURC Qualifier - one of the largest VEX U events in the world!
This year the West Virginia VURC Qualifier returns to its ancestral home, the Fairmont State University Falcon Center.
Due to Fairmont State's dining contract, outside food cannot be brought into the venue. However, the Dining Hall will be open for lunch - buffet style, all you can eat for $9.
This event is part of the West Virginia State Championship Week. VURC teams are welcome to stay and complete skills runs at the V5RC HS (March 8-9) and/or V5RC MS (March 10) state championships. We ask that each team completing skills runs at later events provide at least two volunteers.
