Please visit the Travel Info page for directions, hotel information and parking information. Hotel Rate Code can be found under Documents.

IQ Fields

We need a large number of VEX IQ fields to ensure adequate competiton and practice space during the event. Any organization that has at least two participating teams is asked to bring at least one VEX IQ field to the State tournament. If any local teams can bring more than one, please reach out to me and let me know. If this is a hardship for any teams travelling a great distance, also please contact me.

Team Party!

All teams (VRC and VEX IQ) are invited to a Team Party that will take place on Saturday night from 7:00-9:30 PM in the venue after we have taken down VRC and setup for VEX IQ. We will have board games and video games to play as well as some fun and competitive activities. We will also have pizza and drinks available for purchase. VEX IQ teams may also check-in and run skills for a portion of this time.

Please have your teams pre-inspect their robots to make sure they will pass inspection. The inspection checklist can be found at the Download tab.

Participation Consent & Waiver Form - A waiver is required for all participants. It can be submitted online or a hard copy can be turned in at the event.

Volunteer

We Need You!

Many volunteers are needed to make this event a success. The Wisconsin VEX State Tournaments are run to benefit all VEX Teams in Wisconsin. As such we need all VEX Teams in Wisconsin to help make them successful and sustainable events.

There are lots of volunteer roles that need to be filled. There are also four seperate State Tournaments happening the same weekend, and we can use help at all of them. Consider volunteering for one of the events you are not participating in. That will give you more time at your event and help make the other events successful, too!

We expect all teams participating in the Wisconsin VEX State Tournament to provide volunteers. Each volunteer opportunity has been given a number of "Volunteer Points." We are asking each team to cover between 2 and 4 volunteer points for the events. Please keep the following things in mind when signing up volunteers:

Volunteers must provide the team number and letter to credit the correct team with the volunteer points
We would ask local teams to consider signing up for spots that would be more difficult for teams travelling a distance to cover, such as setup and cleanup tasks
Teams that fail to signup for volunteer spots will be assigned volunteer tasks
If you are a VRC team, you may sign up to help at the VEX IQ event, and if you are a VEX IQ team, you may sign up to help at the VRC event. Then you won't miss any of the action at your event!

Judges and Referees

Volunteers to serve as Judges and Referees are also needed for all events. No experience is necessary to be a Judge or a Referee, but those with experience are encouraged to volunteer. These rolls mostly require an all-day commitment. The tournament can assist with hotel lodging for judge and referee volunteers that need it. Coaches and VEX alumni are encouraged to serve as judges for events that they do not have teams participating in. This is a great opportunity to learn how to help your teams improve as well as help teams in other programs. Volunteering as a judge or a referee will cover the entire volunteer responsibility for a team.

Age Requirements for Judges and Referees

All judges at the State Tournament must be adults (18 or older and out of high school)
Referees/scorekeepers must be at least 15 years old
