Thank you for registering for the KAIAC 2026–2027 V5 Robotics League! We are excited to have your school participating this season. Our goal is to provide students with a positive, competitive, and collaborative robotics experience while developing engineering, coding, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.
The KAIAC Robotics League consists of multiple league tournaments throughout the season, allowing teams opportunities to improve their robots, strategies, driver skills, and engineering notebooks between events. The season will conclude with the KAIAC Championship, where awards and advancement opportunities will be available.
Attendance & Registration
If your team becomes unable to attend a registered event, please notify league organizers as soon as possible so waitlisted teams may have an opportunity to participate. Teams are expected to attend events they register for and communicate any changes promptly.
