General Info
This is a Elementary & Middle School School COMBINED in-person event! Any spots not filled by Delaware teams 2-week prior to the event will be offered to teams on the waitlist in order of the date/time they were added to the list.
We cannot run events without dozens of volunteers. We respectfully request that every team attending the event provides AT LEAST one full-day volunteer to ensure the event runs smoothly. Find out more on the ‘Volunteer’ tab.
Please be sure to read all of the event information contained on the Robot Events page. Some important highlights:
- All teams participating in this event are expected to follow the RECF Student Centered Policy (https://vrc-kb.recf.org/hc/en-us/articles/9654578622487-Student-Centered-Policy) - NO adult designed, built, or programmed robots. Teams found to be violating the student-centered policy will be submitted to RECF for review and the outcome of that review may impact ability to participate in future events.
- This event has Early Bird Registration enabled. Please see this link for more information.
- There will be a snack bar with breakfast and lunch items, drinks and snacks. We will send out whole pizza pre-order information as we get closer to the event.
- We ask for you to make payment at the time of the event registration. Teams not paid one week prior to the event will be moved to the wait list and risk not having a spot in the competition. If you are paying by PO that you expect to take longer than the deadline, please reach out to us!
- Teams canceling prior to the registration closure date and notifying the event partner via email by the registration closure date will receive a full refund (minus the $5 RECF fee).
- Registered teams that are a no-show for the event are still responsible for payment of event registration fees, and will be expected to pay event entry fees at the time of registration for any future events.
