Knox Grammar School presents the Blended VEX V5 Robotics Competition Tournament for the 2026-27 Season, Override.
This event will be hosted in the Knox Cultural Centre (KCC) Auditorium, located on the Senior School campus in Wahroonga, NSW, Australia.
Due to limited space, we will ask that each organisation limits the number of coaches to 1 per two teams registered.
Please ensure that everyone attending brings a packed lunch as there will not be food available for purchase near the venue.
Robot drop-off can be done via Gate 7 (first driveway on the left as soon as you turn into Borambil St off the Pacific Highway), with parking then available in the Borambil St carpark via Gate 3 on Borambil St.
Please ensure you limit your stay to only 2 minutes if you will be utilising the robot drop-off area, and ensure you do not queue on Borambil St if the drop-off area is full.
