General Info
Battle for Placer Gold Invitational is an invite-only event , with priority consideration given to Placer area/Greater Sacramento teams. Contact us at [email protected] or place your team on the waitlist to be considered.
We do accept other teams after priority teams have completed their registrations on a case by case basis- typically to school based or independent teams that have not yet qualified for the region championships. Please add your team to the waitlist and contact us at [email protected] for consideration.
All events will receive Northern California championship award bids based on the Global Robotics Qualifying Criteria. The awards slots will be allocated by Global Robotics later in the season.
