General Info
Welcome to Turtle Tumble, VEX V5 (MS/HS) Invitational Tournament hosted by DBS Robotics. This competition is designed to help teams experience what a top-tier VEX competition is like and open more pathways to the Hong Kong VEX V5 Championship.
The event serves as a platform for teams to put their skills to the test and connect with other passionate members of the VEX Robotics community. Participating in thrilling, high-stakes matches, students will have the opportunity to hone their mechanical and programming skills. Moreover, they will also gain real-world competition experience, problem solving and collaboration skills, aiding their all rounded development. This event enables students to meet and interact with others who share the same passion for robotics. Connecting with one another, we hope to utilise this event to build a stronger backbone for the VEX Community.
Overall, this event offers an inspiring and supportive environment that will help participants build their confidence and knowledge.
This invitational event is open only to Hong Kong teams who have not yet registered for any local events this season. Interested and qualified teams should add themselves to the waitlist. The Event Partner and the Program Support Manager will review the teamlist before adding teams to the main event.
