Lunch (1 pizza and 4 drinks per registered team) is included in registration fee.
Each team should bring a 15ft (or longer) extention cord--power will be within 15 ft of each pit table for charging.

Volunteer
WE LOVE VOLUNTEERS!
Volunteers are managed in shifts--either 7:30am-1pm or 12pm-5:30pm (or both, if you like). Volunteers will be provided lunch (pizza). Volunteers will be trained at the event (no previous experience or expertise required!!) Some jobs are for adults only, but MANY can be done by kids as young as 10.
VOLUNTEERING IS A GREAT WAY TO GET SERVICE HOURS (for Bright Futures, Scholarship applications, etc or simply to do a nice thing for others). Volunteering at a VEX V5 Robotics Competition™ event is fun!
