Since VEX is relatively new among our districts, this invitational should give every team an excellent opportunity to succeed. We are looking forward to a great day of competition and meeting new people interested in VEX Robotics. Be prepared with batteries, chargers, and your license plates.

Lunch: We will take an hour break for lunch. I highly recommend picking up lunch or having it delivered to the ESC.
