Welcome to the 2026 Bots on Bama's Boardwalk Signature Event!

Where Championship Robotics Meets Alabama's Gulf Coast

Compete for a 2027 VEX Robotics World Championship qualification while enjoying white sand beaches, championship-level competition, and Southern hospitality at one of the premier VEX IQ Signature Events of the season.

Join us for the inaugural Bots on Bama's Boardwalk Signature Event, hosted at the beautiful The Lodge at Gulf State Park - A Hilton Hotel in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and Gulf State Park, this unique destination combines world-class robotics competition with one of America's most beautiful beach locations, creating an unforgettable experience for students, coaches, families, and spectators.

Hosted by the Knuckle Sandwich Robotics, Bots on Bama's Boardwalk is designed to attract many of the highest-performing VEX IQ Robotics Competition - Level Up teams from across the United States and beyond.

Our goal is to provide a World Championship-caliber experience from the moment teams arrive until the final awards ceremony. Competitors will enjoy professionally managed tournament operations, championship-style competition fields, dedicated Skills Challenge fields, organized pit areas, high-quality judging, experienced referees, and an outstanding volunteer staff committed to making this one of the premier events of the season.

Water Park

Many of our competitors have asked if there was a water park available. Based on this feedback, we have worked with OWA Tropic Falls on group rates. Please note this water park is about 25 minutes by car from the event venue and The Lodge. This time of year it is only open on weekends, but it would be a great bookend to your trip.  Shopland Affiliate Store
