Welcome to the Arizona College Prep Middle School V5RC State Qualifier Event.
This event will be held in the gym on the east side of the campus near Alma School Rd. The pit area will be right outside the gym on the concrete pads. This year we will move more teams in to the hallways, which will provide more shade. Hopefully this year we don't have record heat in winter! Partial shade will be provided by the building's awning and hallways. As the day goes on, shade will continue to grow. Teams are welcome to bring canopies.
Consent forms are required for all students, mentors, and coaches on a V5RC team. Consent forms are now done online one time at participation release form and are good for the entire season.
We are planning on in-person interviews with notebooks turned in at registration. If you are using an online engineering notebook, please print and bring the physical copy to the event.
Judging / Interviews may begin as early as 8:00am to ensure all teams are given adequate time and consideration.
**There will be no food trucks on site this year. We have many food options within half a mile of campus to inlcude Chipolte, Wendys, Floridinos Pizza and Pasta.
