General Info

The West Michigan Robotics Event Partners are teaming up to present the sixth annual Mega League — a high-energy competition where up to 120 teams can register to compete. Over six weeks, 24 league sessions will be hosted across the region, with the top-ranked teams advancing to separate high school and middle school state-qualifying finals.

Mega League offers students a valuable opportunity to sharpen their skills before Saturday tournaments begin. Mistakes carry less weight, giving teams the freedom to experiment, learn, and adapt. Competitors can watch other teams to refine their robot designs, gain hands-on pit experience, understand the field control system, develop strategic gameplay, and build lasting relationships through collaboration.

Session selection will open on September 15 on a first come, first served basis.  Registered teams will be emailed the information to select their session dates and a schedule will be published online.
