I received notification and my grant was approved. How do I apply these funds to my team registration?
Description
Follow these steps:
Accept terms and conditions. The email asks you to accept the terms and conditions associated with the grant. Carefully review these terms before accepting. Remember, the terms and conditions are a legal agreement to complete the grant requirements in return for the award received.
Discount Application: Once your teams are registered, you need to apply the discount(s) to your cart located on the dashboard in RobotEvents. This discount corresponds to the grant funds awarded.
If you already created your invoice, please click on the hyperlinked invoice number that includes the team registrations and click “Start Over” at the bottom of the page.
Note: You will receive a warning that you will delete the current invoice number and press delete. This adds the teams back to the cart.
If you have equipment associated with the grant, please go to your dashboard and click “add to cart” for each equipment item you were granted.
Once all the discounts are added to your cart, you may begin the checkout process.
*Caution* – Please be sure to check that you have a zero balance in your cart. If additional items need to be purchased outside of your granted items, please create a separate invoice/order.
An Event Partner wanting to apply to host a Signature Event must have hosted events for at least 2 seasons prior to applying.
Signature Events must use the officially branded award banners for the Excellence Award and Tournament/Teamwork Champions Award.
When hanging field skirts the VEX Robotics logo/brand name can not be covered up on the competition fields.
VEX V5 Robotics Competition Signature Events may have regional capacity and max per organization restrictions lifted 8 weeks before the event if the event is not full (similar to the process already in place for VEX IQ Robotics Competition Signature Events).
Minimum pit size reduced to 8’x 8’ instead of 10’x10’.
Beginning in the 2025-2026 season, the REC Foundation will collect $10 instead of $5 per team registration on all Signature Events. This is to help offset travel costs for REC Foundation staff to support these larger events.
