This year we aim to have even more participating teams as we prepare to host the Nothing But Net Challenge (regional level) on February 13th\, 2016.   The competition will be located at Schimelpfenig Middle School\, with 24 teams participating. \nThe VEX Robotics Competition\, presented by the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation\, is the largest and fastest growing middle school and high school robotics program globally with more than 12\,000 teams from 33 countries playing in over 1\,000 tournaments worldwide. Each year\, an exciting engineering challenge is presented in the form of a game. Students\, with guidance from their teachers and mentors\, build innovative robots and compete year-round in a variety of matches. In addition to learning valuable engineering skills\, students gain life skills such as teamwork\, perseverance\, communication\, collaboration\, project management\, and critical thinking. The VEX Robotics Competition prepares students to become future innovators with 95% of participants reporting an increased interest in STEM subject areas and pursuing STEM-related careers. \nThis year\, teams will be competing in the Nothing But Net Challenge.  Nothing But Net is played on a 12 foot by 12 foot field by two alliances: one red and one blue.  An alliance consists of two randomly paired teams during qualifying rounds or selected teams during the elimination round.  The objective of the game is to score more points than your opposing alliance by making baskets of normal balls in low (1 point) or high (5 points).  In addition to normal balls\, teams have the ability to pick up bonus balls that are worth twice as many points\, 2 and 10 respectively\, for low and high goals.  At the end of the match\, teams also can score additional points by lifting their alliance member’s robot off the ground using their own robot!  For a low elevated robot (one 4 inches of the ground)\, teams will get an additional 25 points.  But if they are able to raise their team member’s robot 12 inches off the ground\, they will score an additional 50 points.  The below diagram shows the layout of the field\, with the red and blue squares signifying the starting points for the robots: \n \nThe tournament hosted by CIE/USA-DFW is one of many local tournaments in the metroplex.  These tournaments are held year-round at the regional\, state\, and national levels.  Local champions go on to compete against the best teams in the world at the VEX Robotics World Championship each April! \nImportant Level of Competition Dates:\n\nDallas Regional Tournament: 16 teams minimum required in attendance.  .\nNorth Texas Regional Championship: February 27th\, 2016 at Greenville High School (Qualifies teams for worlds)\nWorld Championship: April 20th through April 23rd in Louisville\, Kentucky.  The world championship will feature 1\,000 teams from cities all over the world!\n\nEvent Schedule\n\n\n\n7:30 AM\nOpen doors to teams / begin check-in/inspection\n\n\n8:00 AM\nOpen Programming/Skills Challenge\n\n\n9:00 AM\nClose Out the check-in / registration process with all teams in house\n\n\n9:30 AM\nClose robot inspections\n\n\n10:00 AM\nClose Programming/Skills Challenge\n\n\n10:00 AM\nOpening Ceremonies\n\n\n10:15 AM\nQualification Rounds\n\n\n12:15 PM\nLUNCH/SKILLS (visit our concession stand)\n\n\n1:00 PM\nContinue Qualification Rounds\n\n\n3:00 PM\nFinish Qualification Rounds\n\n\n3:00 PM\nAlliance Selections\n\n\n3:30 PM\nElimination Round\n\n\n4:30 PM\nComplete Elimination Rounds\n\n\n5:00 PM\nAwards Ceremony\n\n\n\n2015 Photos\n\nAwards are given out to teams striving four categories: excellence\, tournament champions\, sportsmanship\, Judges award\, and design.
