It is past the registration deadline.

General Info

Push it in! Pull it in! Drag it in! We want to see your bot, whatever you got.

Jackson Area Robotics and Union University welcome you to the Push Back season.

Volunteers who sign up at least two weeks in advance will recieve free lunches. Check out the Sign Up at this link. We can only host these events with the support of the community.

Meals through the Union University cafeteria are $10 pre-paid and $15.64 on the day of the event. No outside food or drink will be allowed in the Grant Center. This will be strictly enforced out of respect for Union's policy. Lawn areas are available for picnic lunches. Teams who wish to pre-order tickets for meals from the cafeteria must do so by noon on Friday, October 24.

All team members and adults must have the RECF waiver completed. Instructions avialable at this link. https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/5ab2c50d92047/web/

Payment is due two weeks after a team is registered (or immediately if after October 10, 2025) unless other arrangements are made with the EP. All teams not paid after two weeks of registration will be moved to the waitlist and may be added back in, IF there is still room on the roster. If your registration payment process takes longer than two weeks, clear communication will keep teams from being moved to the Waitlist.

Due to the difficulty of recruiting judging volunteers, there will be no judging at this event.

Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
