Volunteer

These events are run by volunteers! Please aim to lend one volunteer for each team you are registering. Lots of opportunities for anyone ages 8 and up! Check out the RECF Volunteer Roles Overview for details. 

The hardest role to fill is typically Judge. Be assured that technical backgrounds are useful but not required. Being a judge is a great way to meet some of the students, and understand the hard work they put in to produce their robots. 

Please use this link to sign up as a volunteer.
