Travel Info

*Please note that this year's event is NOT at Weston High. It is at Weston Middle School, which is right next door to Weston High. 

Please use the BACK ENTRANCE of the middle school for buses and loading robots and equipment to the pit areas. 

Weston Middle School, 135 School Road, Weston CT 06883

The best place for drop off for this event is BEHIND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL--go past the school to the stop sign, take a right, and proceed to the back. Look for the basketball hoops and the sign for the entrance to the tournament. 

Buses are not allowed to park next to the building here. Have the buses pull up and drop off at the back entrance, then they can park on the other side of the basketball hoops away from the building.
