General Info
Congratulations on qualifying for the Georgia State Championship. This invitational will be hosted at the Georgia Army National Guard.
All payments must be submitted and fully processed within three weeks of registration. Teams whose payments are not completed within this timeframe will be moved to the waitlist, and available spots will be filled based on Robot Skills rankings.
If a team earns multiple qualifications for a World Championship spot at this event, the additional spot will be awarded to the highest-ranking team in the Skills Standings at the Georgia State Championship.
World Championship invitations are sent via email after the State Championship results are posted on robotevents.com. Teams must confirm and submit payment as soon as possible to avoid losing their spot. World Championship qualifying awards and invitations are issued regardless of whether a team has indicated intent to attend. Unaccepted World Championship invitations are not transferred to other teams within the state.

Live streams work great when everything goes as planned, but technical issues can occasionally occur. Our top priority is keeping the competition on schedule. If the stream experiences issues, we will attempt to restore it as long as it does not interfere with the event timeline. If streaming problems begin to affect the schedule, we will stop the live stream and upload a recorded version here after the competition concludes. Thank you for your understanding.
Judging Format
All In-Person Judging - The Team Interviews and Engineering Notebooks will be judged in-person the day of the event. Teams should bring a physical copy of their notebook to submit to the judges.
