Welcome to Wobble at Wasatch! We are excited to host you and your teams this year.

Our event will take place on December 6th, 2025 at Rocky Mountain Middle School in Heber City, Utah. We will hold our event between the gymnasium and cafeteria to accomodate space for all teams and provide a good environment for spectators.

We will be selling concessions/snacks that will help to reimburse our club.

All engineering notebooks need to be in digital format and submitted by November 28th, 2025 at 5 pm (Mountain Time). At Wobble judges will give out Excellence, Design, Judges, and Innovate awards.

Competition Preparation

Here are a few steps every team can take to make sure they are prepared for Wobble. Even though Wobble takes place early in the season, we still want our event to run efficiently.

1. Review the game rules and run through the inspection checklist about a week before the competition so that there is ample time for adjustments. The V5RC inspection checklist can be found here.

2. Check the official Q&A for the latest rule updates, changes, and clarifications.

3. Carefully read all of the information contained in the tournament posting on RobotEvents.com

4. Pack for the event the day before the day of departure. Here are a few items that you don't want to forget.
        Goggles/Safety Glasses
        Spare parts & tools
        Batteries and chargers
        Programming cable
        Power strip
        Laptop computer
       
5. Review the descriptions and criteria for the awards that are being given during the tournament. In particular the requirements for the Design Award figure into all of the judged awards that will be given at this tournament: Judges, Innovate, Design, and Excellence. You can find more detail in the Judging Guide.

6. Prep for your interviews with the judges. Our judges will be practicing engineers who are willing to give up a Saturday to help with our competition.

8. Remember that safety comes first, please don't bring tools that pose a safety risk to your team, or others nearby as the venue is a tight fit. Also, remember no grinding or cutting in the gymnasium. We will have a station for grinding and cutting set up in the main entryway of the school.

9. Ensure that you have the latest version of firmware on your robot brain. Currently (June 2025) the most up to date version of VEXos is 1.1.5.

10. We will be using VEX Smart Field Control. Please ensure that you have your team number in your robot brain. See Smart Field Control – REC Library (roboticseducation.org) for details.
