General Info

Welcome to Lakeside's Winter Bot Bash! As always, we will try to run a fun and relaxed event.

Our event will be located behind Lakeside High School in the STEM Building also known as the Joyce L Vaught Alternative Learning Environment Building. Please do not use the 1110 S. Lakeshore Drive address - this address will take you to the Administration Building. Please use the 336 Hwy 82 West address. The event will be hosted in the building behind the high school - just follow the signs. There is plenty of space for buses to park in the parking lot. Also, spectators are welcome to attend, but our seating is limited. Spectators may want to bring a chair.

Engineering notebooks will be turned in the morning of the competition. We are currently only accepting physical notebooks.

Judges' interviews will be scheduled. The scheduled interview times will coincide with the morning Skills portion, and you will receive your interview schedule at the event.

This event is currently slated to be a blended event. If we have enough elementary and enough middle school teams, we will split the Excellence Award to provide 1 Excellence Award for middle school and 1 Excellence Award for elementary.
