General Info
Los Altos Robotics is pleased to be hosting its second annual VEX IQ Tournament on December 3, 2017 at Blach Intermediate School in Los Altos. The event is open to middle and elementary school teams.
Los Altos Robotics is a small community organization dedicated to introducing children to robotics. We are not affiliated with a school or any other organization and consequently we REQUIRE each team to provide volunteers and/or competition fields as a condition of participating in the tournament. If you are not able to provide volunteers then please do not register for this tournament.
Initially we will offer space for 16 teams when registration opens on October 6 with a maximum of three teams per school. If we secure sufficient volunteers and playing fields by early November then we will increase the tournament size to accommodate 24 teams.
Parking is on school grounds or on the street.

Teams must be checked in 45 minutes prior to the start of the qualification matches so that the match schedule may be printed. Teams must contact the event partner if they are running late or they will be removed from the team list for the event.

Teams that advise the event partner by November 22 that they are withdrawing from the tournament will receive a refund of their registration fee, less the $5 fee charged by the REC Foundation.
