General Info
We are excited to invite teams into our school again this year!
Barney's Battle of the Bots will be qualifying event for the SC MS VRC State Championship. If teams wish to be judged and in the running for Design and Excellence awards, teams should upload their Engineering Notebooks to their RobotEvents account by Jan 27, 2025. This will allow the judges more time to review the notebooks and to prepare for interviews that will take place on the day of the event.
When teams arrive at Blue Ridge Middle School, they will enter through the front entrance. Additional parking will be available in the bus loop to the left of the school building. Only registered team members and one coach will be allowed to pit, area around the gym floor, tables will be set up and labled with team numbers.
