General Info
The DeKalb Central VEX IQ Scrimmage is an invite-only event for DeKalb Central VEX IQ teams and is not open for registration to outside teams.
The purpose of this scrimmage is to give our students an opportunity to experience a competition-style environment before our DeKalb Central VEX IQ State Qualifier on February 6, 2027. Teams will have the opportunity to practice competing in Teamwork Challenge matches, participate in Robot Skills, work with alliance partners, and identify areas for improvement before the official competition.
The scrimmage will also serve as an opportunity to help our students and families better understand the VEX IQ Robotics Competition program. Throughout the event, we will share information about the current game challenge, Student-Centered Policy, engineering notebooks and judging, Robot Skills, competition-day procedures, sportsmanship, and how teams can qualify for the Indiana State Championship.
Please Note: Registration for this event is by invitation only. If you are not a DeKalb Central team and believe you received an invitation or registration link in error, please contact the Event Partner before registering.
