We will have two competition fields, one Skills field, and one practice field. We need two additional Over Under field element sets so if your team is willing to bring a complete field element set to this competition, please email [email protected] or call 325-733-7439 before completing the registering for our tournament and ATEMS Robotics will pay your team's registration cost.
