Welcome to the VEX IQ Live Remote Tournaments for VEX IQ Pitching In!
Juat so you are aware, teams will need to have their own VEX IQ field. If an organization (school) has multiple registered VEX IQ teams for this event, all teams can share 2 VEX IQ fields. If your organization does not have enough fields, please contact either myself ([email protected]), and we'l work something out.
Some other things that you will want to make sure you have...
