Sagemont Prep School Event # 1 VEX V5 Robotics® : Override™: VEX V5 Robotics Competition™ High School Teams

General Info

This is a South Florida State Qualifying Override™ event for the 2026-27 year. It will be held at Sagemont Prep Upper School - Goldman Athletic Center. Spectators are welcome (no fee), and VOLUNTEERS are even more welcome (contact [email protected] or [email protected]).

All attendees are expected to abide by the code of conduct. All participants are expected to complete the participant release form, which can be submitted ONLINE by the team coach for this and future events!

If your team is fortunate enough to win a South Florida Event Region Championship spot from this (or any) qualifying competition, you will have two weeks to register and pay for it. Failure to register and pay within two weeks of the competition date, where the state championship spot was earned, forfeits your team's state spot--so be sure and plan ahead to register and pay on time.

Teams are responsible for having teams registered and fees paid two weeks following earning the state championship spot, unless, of course, the event you win a state spot at is in the final two weeks before states, in which case you must be prepared to pay immediately following that event.

**The State qualifying Skills score cut off will be two weeks prior to the Event Region Championship (ERC). The number of teams qualifying from the skills list is based on open spots after all events have concluded, two weeks prior to the ERC. While teams at events now fill double qualified spots from skills at the event, there will still be teams winning spots from multiple competitions, these additional spots come from the top combined skills scores (performed at the same event) to teams who have not yet won a spot for a ERC as in previous years. Teams that qualify from the state's skills list will have a short time to register and pay for ERC. Please plan accordingly and be prepared for a potential invitation two weeks prior to the state championship.

Teams that move on to the World Championship in Dallas, Texas, will be responsible for registering promptly, as they will have only ONE week to register AND pay before their invitation to Worlds is lost! Hint--Plan to win--plan for success--Plan accordingly with your teams from day one to win state spots, win a spot at states, and play in worlds!! Plan to win both in spirit and financial planning!! Understand the awards and all rules. Contact Ulrika Peroni if you need any assistance in understanding awards or qualifying for the ERC or the VEX Robotics World Championship.
