Volunteer
YES! We do need volunteers! Volunteers are the heart of every VEX competition--without them the event simply cannot function. In a perfect world, every robot team would provide at least 2 adult volunteers at every event. There are lots of different roles that need to be filled, with varying degrees of expertise and physical activity.
PLEASE have one or two of your team parents email me at [email protected] with the subject "Volunteer for STEM SQUAD Tournament" in the subject line. I will get back to them ASAP, and thanks in advance!!
Emergency/Bad Weather Policy
Due to the many demands on our facilities, we will not postpone this event. In the event of extreme weather (a hurricane, for instance) the event will be CANCELLED and your registrations refunded (less the fees incurred by robotevents.com).**
Notification of cancellations will be made through the contacts provided with your registration through robotevents.com and the RECF. Please make certain all your contact information is correct and current to stay informed!!
**From Robotevents.com: There is $5.00 USD fee, per registration, that will be withheld to cover website maintenance, processing fees, reporting, accounting, and system updates.
Refund and Payment Policies
Refunds will ONLY be issued in the case of an event cancellation. Please only register robots/teams that intend to attend. Due to the limited space for events, we will not issue a refund for a 'no show.'
All payments must be recieved by 12/19/25. Teams who fail to submit payment by this deadline may be replaced by a team from the waiting list.
