Welcome to DLS Robotics Page.
Games are on weekends. There will be approximately 4 weekend tournaments. All members are required to attend these tournaments, even if their robot is not competing that day. These are our only "games/competitions" all year, so it is expected that these dates become a priority for participants.
If a team/robot qualifies for Nationals or Worlds, the season will be extended for those members.
Team Banquet: sometime between March-June TBA.
Summer Schedule: not-required but may allow for a few build events.
For those with other commitments, please see if we are able to accommodate you by speaking with Mrs. Jacks and Mr. Black

To learn about how VEX competitions work, please visit the Web Links. DLS will have at least 3 teams this year (with at least 5 students per team).We will work on building robots August through Thanksgiving. Our robot will be ready before Thanksgiving!
We will work on practicing our robots from Thanksgiving until mid- December.
Each year we have our first 1-2 tournaments in December, followed by 2-3 more in January and February. If we win one of those tournaments, we'll likely qualify and move on to the State tournament (see schedule below for dates), then to Nationals (see schedule below for dates), then to Worlds (see schedule below for dates).
