General Info
Los Altos Robotics is pleased to be hosting its third annual VEX Tournament on Sunday December 2, 2018 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 September 10 with a maximum of one team per school. If we secure sufficient volunteers and playing fields then we will increase the tournament size in mid October to accommodate up to 24 teams and two teams per organization.
While we are charging $75 to register for the tournament, we will waive the fee for one team if they have finanancial contraints that would make it difficult to pay the registration fee. If your team would like to apply for this fee waiver please contact us at [email protected].
