Badging Information

Participant stands among the crowd in the dome at VEX Robotics World Championship

All attendees to the VEX Robotics World Championship 2025 will be required to obtain and wear at all times a wristband and/or name badge for entrance into the exhibit hall and skills areas during the event.

Teams-specific Information

Upon arrival at Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center (KBHCC), the coach of the team must go to team check-in, located in F Lobby, to pickup the team wristbands, swag and confirm their check-in for the event. 

NOTE: Online survey check-in will be required for coaches to complete for their teams prior to arrival at the venue.

Reminder for Spectators and Family Members:

  • All spectators must complete the spectator survey, opening on Monday, May 5, 2025. 
  • Spectators may pick up their wristbands at one of two spectator check-in locations (D Lobby and F Lobby) upon arrival. Wristbands are required to attend the event.
  • Spectator wristbands are colored yellow, the same as coaches and teams.
  • If a coach included parents in their coach count during online team check-in, we still require parents to complete the spectator survey, however these parents do not need to collect a wristband at the venue as the coach should have received an additional wristband for that individual in their packet.

Missing/Lost Parking Passes:

  • Teams will receive one parking pass for use in Lot E during their event.
  • Parking passes are for teams only and will be distributed to the coach at team check-in (F Lobby).
  • Due to limited availability, parking passes that are forgotten, lost, or stolen will not be replaced.

2025-2026 Signature Event Updates

  1. An Event Partner wanting to apply to host a Signature Event must have hosted events for at least 2 seasons prior to applying. 
  2. Signature Events must use the officially branded award banners for the Excellence Award and Tournament/Teamwork Champions Award.
  3. When hanging field skirts the VEX Robotics logo/brand name can not be covered up on the competition fields.
  4. 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).
  5. Minimum pit size reduced to 8’x 8’ instead of 10’x10’.
  6. 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.
