Thank you for being willing to help with Rumble.  It takes a lot of people to help this run smoothly, we couldn't do it without you.  

The volunteer registration link will be posted closer to the event.

緊急/惡劣天氣政策

In the case of bad weather please contact the Event Partner to discuss options. We are used to adverse weather in Utah. If weather is bad enough to not run this event we will figure out the best path forward for all involved. 

退款和付款政策

If the Event Partner cancels the event: If the event is cancelled, a full event registration refund will be given to all paid teams. Teams are responsible for their own transportation and hotel costs. 

Payment is due at the time of registration unless special arrangement has been made with the Event Partner. Teams who have registered but have not paid or submitted a PO within 2 weeks of registration will be moved to the wait list unless the event partner is contacted and arrangements are made.

If a Coach/Mentor completes registration for the event then chooses to withdraw or not attend: No refunds will be given.

評審方式

Judging will be Digital Engineering Notebook Submissions / Initial remote eam interviews / In Person follow-up interviews as needed. 

Engineering notebooks must be submitted digitally by providing a link to your digital notebook. Notebooks are submitted through the team's events.vex.com logins by one of the team's registered contacts- Submitting a Digital Engineering Notebook – Global Robotics & Science Foundation.This link must be submitted by 4:00 pm Mountain Time, Friday, January 8th, 2027.

A new requirement this year is to include up to three summaries in your notebook. These summaries are a Season Summary (1-page), a Code Summary (also 1-page, but this summary is only necessary if your team uses code for autonomous programs), and a Credit Summary. See Season, Code, and Credit Summaries for Judging – Global Robotics & Science Foundation for more information.

Also different this year, it is no longer necessary to submit a separate form to be eligible for the Innovate Award. If you have something innovative that you want the judges to be aware of, you should mention it in your 1-page Season Summary.

At this tournament it is NOT necessary to print out your summaries and turn them in. Your summaries just need to be in your notebook and easily found from your Table of Contents. To make it easy for the judges, we suggest your summary pages be hyperlinked from the Table of Contents with bidirectional page navigation, that is, a hyperlink from the ToC to the Summary Page, and a link on the Summary Page back to the ToC.

If you want more information on how the judges will score your notebook, go here: Engineering Notebook Rubrics – Global Robotics & Science Foundation

The first round of interviews will be held remotely in early January.  The registration link will be posted when it is available.
