General Info

Thank you for your interest in the IQ Blended Pitching In Tournament hosted by Hudsonville Robotics!  This will be our 1st year hosting an IQ and we look forward to a fun and collaborative event.

Ottawa county (local health department for Hudsonville) requires everyone in attendance to wear proper facial covering (mask).  Those that are not feeling healthy should not attend.  

The competition will be hosted in the cafeteria of Hudsonville High School conveniently located one mile north of I-196 just west of Grand Rapids, Mi. Ample parking is available on campus and there are also plenty of resturants and retail locations in the area.  Note: There are large construction projects happening at the high school near the gym. We will have signs posted to assist you in navigating.

Teams will participate in qualification matches, skills events, judging in the pits, and elimination matches if qualified.  We will be following the rules in the latest release of the VEX IQ Piching In Game Manual.

Pit tables, seating, and electrical charging stations, and public WIFI will be provided.  Teams are welcome to bring their own food and we will have an array of concession snacks and drinks.

For more information about us please visit our website at hudsonvillerobotics.com or email [email protected]. 

Warning - Nov 20 is parade day in Hudsonville.  The prade will begin blocking traffic at about 9:30 am and start at 10:00. 32nd Ave will not be available.  An alternate route is Chicago Dr, to 36th St, and then Allen St which is the north side of the campus.  Google Map 36th/Allen
