Volunteer

The upcoming New Mexico State Championships on March 13th marks a pivotal moment in the season. We anticipate the participation of talented teams and enthusiastic spectators, making it a highlight event.

Our success relies heavily on the incredible support of volunteers. We are actively seeking volunteers for two critical roles:

  1. Judges: Conduct interviews with teams, evaluate their engineering notebooks, and assess their robots’ performance.
  2. Scorekeepers: Responsible for assisting referees and accurately recording match scores in the tournament software.

Both roles are essential for maintaining fairness and ensuring an enjoyable competition experience for all participants. If you are interested in volunteering for either or both events, please sign up at your earliest convenience. Upon receiving your response, we will send you a confirmation email with further details.

Should you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to welcoming you back to our events soon!

Judging Format

Digital Engineering Notebook Submissions / In Person Team Interviews: Team interviews will be conducted in-person at the event. Engineering notebooks will be submitted digitally for evaluation via a link found within the "My Account" panel of the team contact on RobotEvents. All submissions should be completed by 11:59pm mst on March 10th.

It is strongly suggested that all engineering notebooks be in PDF format, as a warning, all Engineering notebooks will be converted to PDF, but we can not guarantee the format to which it is printed to PDF is exactly what your team wants, so my suggestion is to upload a PDF version yourself by the deadline.
