Event Description
Please register by 3pm on Jan 13th.
UPDATE!!!
We have moved our starting time back to accommodate teams driving in for the day. The "driver's" meeting will now be at 10:30am. We will run 2 fields in order to be done by 6pm.
Solon High School Robotics is the site for the first Eastern Iowa VEX Tournament.
This event will qualify 3 teams for the US Nationals in Omaha, NE and 1 team for Worlds in Anaheim, CA.
Realizing Iowa weather can be unpredictable in January, we are registering 30 teams so that we will have a minimum field of 24 teams at our event in order to qualify 3 teams for US Nationals and 1 for World Events. In order to get in as many games as possible, we will have a short lunch break, and we will have a concession area open most of the day.
We will have as many matches during the time available, expecting at least 5 per team.
We have added the Robot Skills and Programming Skills to the event.
The last day to register is January 16th, 2012. Please call 319-541-6855, after this date to see if registration is still open.
