General Info

Thank you for your interest in the V5RC Push back Tournament hosted by Hudsonville Christian/Unity Christian Robotics! We look forward to a fun and collaborative event!

Facility - The event will be held at Hudsonville Christian School, in the West Gym conveniently located approximately 10 minutes from Exit 62 on I-196, just west of Grand Rapids, MI. Pit tables, seating, and electrical power will be provided for each team attending, along with plenty of spectator seating. Parking is available in the lot on the corner of Oak and Lincoln, with the entry available via the West Gym doors. Additional parking is available in the main lot on Oak St, and behind the school off of Hillcrest; street parking is also available.

Competition - Teams will participate in qualification matches, skills events, judging in the pits, and elimination matches if qualified. We will be following the rules in the latest release of the VEX Robotics Competition – Game Manual.

Judging - We will be collecting Physical engineering notebooks at the start of this event for in-person judging. We will not be able to print notebooks for teams.

Food - Teams are welcome to bring their own food and we will have concession snacks and drinks. Donuts will be available in the morning and we will also take pizza orders for lunch (we will handle the order and delivery on time for lunch).

Registration - All participating teams must be registered with VEX Robotics and the Robot Events website and have an official team number before registering for this event. Tournament fees must be paid before teams are allowed to compete. Registration and payments should be made through the Robot Events website, or mail checks directly to Hudsonville Christian (if mailing directly, please let Jennifer know).
