Welcome to the Blakes Crossing Christian College VEX IQ Robotics Qualifier Tournament.
We are incredibly excited to host a qualifier for this season's 2026-2027 VIQRC challenge: Level Up.
Whether your team and school are new to robotics or have been competing for years, we can't wait to see what you have built for this years challenge.
Come join us for an exciting day of teamwork, strategy, engineering, innovation and action.
This event will include 2 simultaneous tournaments:
- Middle School Tournament with 24 teams
- Elementary School Tournament with 20 teams
Running both divisions at the same venue and time will create a strong tournament atmosphere while still allowing teams to compete within their own age division. It will also provide an opportunity for younger students to see and learn from older competitors throughout the day.
The event is planned to include
- 6 fields running throughout the day (2xMS, 2xES, Skills)
- Dedicated Skills challenge fields
- Judging for MS
*Students should bring lunch with them. We don't have a canteen and the other plans I had been trying to organise fell through.
*Invoices should be sent out now.
