Do I need to wear my wristband at all times at the 2024 VEX Robotics World Championship?
Yes. Due to tightened security measures, each team member will be required to have a bright yellow VEX Worlds wristband on at all times to access the pits, divisions, skills, and arena.

I am on an International team or traveling from Hawaii or Alaska. Where should I pick up my badge?
ALL teams should pick up their wristbands and swag in Hall B at team check-in.

No. Registration is conducted on a per team basis.

All volunteers, drivers, and coaches must wear eye protection while in the competition field areas or around the practice fields for V5RC and VEX U. While we always recommend the use of safety glasses, they are not required for VEX IQ Robotics Competition participants. Teams demonstrating robots to Judges or guests must also wear eye protection. Eye protection in the pits will be left up to the discretion of individual team coaches, but we strongly recommend that eye protection be worn by anyone demonstrating or working on a robot, cutting materials, or near a working robot. When in doubt, wear your safety glasses.

Yes. Registration for the 2024-2025 season for V5RC, VIQRC, and VEX U will open in the Spring of 2024 and teams may register at RobotEvents.com!
