Event registration is separate from team registration. You must complete team registration before you will be allowed to register for official VEX Events.
Have more teams? Get a discount! RECF now offers a flat organization fee for creating multiple VEX Teams. More information this program is available here.
In order for your team to be effective, develop a schedule that meets your team’s availability, needs, objectives, and resources and stick to it!
Teams benefit from the program proportionally to the effort they put into the program. As events approach, your team may decide to meet more frequently in order to better prepare for their participation in the competitions.
TIP: Check out the RobotEvents.com Page to see the schedule of events, then plan your meeting schedule around these dates.
