Please complete our registration form for your team and all its members. Fill out the form as completely as possible and take care to note any special requests or special dietary needs.
Robot Rodeo activities take place both indoors and outdoors. We suggest planning ahead – hats, sunglasses, gloves, and appropriate clothing for very warm weather are a must. Clothing should be comfortable and casual; shoes must provide full coverage (no sandals or open-toe shoes; tennis shoes are acceptable). Participants will also need to bring any tools they may need to repair robots or equipment should the need arise. Please direct any questions to Janet Laros at 505-284-6766.
