General Info

We are excited to host our Robotics Tournament on Martin Luther King Jr. weekend at Percy L. Julian High School located at 225 Ann Street, Montgomery, AL.

The event will feature two competition fields and a skills field. We will be utilizing smart controls for all matches.

Refreshments will be available at the snack bar for a nominal fee. Please note that our school is cashless; all transactions must be made electronically.

Lunch: 

We will be selling pizza combos for $6 (two slices and drink). Please see the attached google form to pre-order. We will also sell additional pizza combos in the concession stand. The concession stand will accept cash and cards; all the proceeds will go to the robotics program.  I will send out a google form for pre-orders but you are more than welcome to email your orders.

All teams should come prepared for competition. Here are a few steps that every team should take to ensure that they are prepared.

We look forward to a thrilling and successful tournament!

Refund and Payment Policies

Payment Deadline and Registration Policy:

Team payments must be submitted by January 15, 2025. Any team that does not make payment by this date will be removed from the registered list without prior notice, and their spot will be offered to a team on the waitlist. Timely payment is crucial for coordinating travel arrangements.

Event Cancellation by Event Partner:

If the Event Partner cancels the event, we are unable to provide refunds to teams that have already made payments. However, paid fees may be applied toward a future Robotics event at Percy L. Julian High School (PJHS).

Withdrawal and Refund Policy:

Once registration is completed, refunds are not available if a Coach/Mentor withdraws or decides not to attend. Teams are advised to make payment only when they are fully committed to attending. Please note that teams unpaid by the deadline will be removed from the registered list without notification.

If a team needs to withdraw after payment has been made, PJHS may consider transferring the registration fee to another PJHS hosted event.

 

Health and Safety Policies

At the Montgomery Area Robotics VRC High Stakes MS/HS Event, the health and safety of all participants is our top priority. Although we will not have a nurse or EMS professional on-site, basic first aid supplies will be available for immediate use. We recommend that all attendees familiarize themselves with the location of the first aid kit and procedures for addressing minor injuries or health concerns. In the event of a serious medical emergency, attendees should contact local emergency services immediately. Please ensure that all participants are aware of their personal medical needs and that any necessary medications are readily accessible.

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.
