General Info

This event will be held in the El Capitan School Gymnasium.  All judging will be conducted in person, and notebooks will be collected when teams check-in.  If your team uses a digital engineering notebook please print a hard copy.

There is plenty of free parking and space for team pop-ups if you want to bring them. Look for the yellow signs to show you where the gym is on campus.

We will have a concession stand with snack and drinks.  Payment accepted will be CASH and VENMO.  

Please bring robots ready to pass inspection. Staying on schedule is a priority; we can't end on time if we don't start on time.

We are looking for a fun day of competition!
