General Info
Welcome to our first V5RC event of the year, "Battle in the Big Country - Push Back."
This tournament will have two competition fields, one Skills field, and one practice field. We need two additional Push Back field element sets. If your team is willing to bring a complete field element set to this competition, please email [email protected] or call 801-390-6420 before registering for our tournament and ATEMS Robotics will pay for your team's registration.
All team members attending this event are required to submit the REC on line consent form through Robot Events
We are very excited to hold this event at The LIFT Center. Doors will open at 7:00AM. Registration and inspection will be from 7:30AM - 8:30AM. Practice rounds will start about 8:30AM and we are asking each team to complete at least one practice round on the competition fields to verify proper connection to the Smart Field controller.
Digital engineering notebooks must be submitted though Robot Events, no later than Midnight Central Time, Saturday, October 18th. (10/18/2025)
Team interviews will start after teams are inspected, pause for the Drivers Meeting, and then resume until complete.
Teams that have not passed inspection by 8:30 AM will be dropped from the schedule.
