Join us for the WVSSAC Robotics State Championship, held Tuesday, December 16, 2025 at the Marshall University Memorial Student Center!
Any WVSSAC-affiliated high school may participate. There is no registration fee, and teams do not need to be registered for the 2025-26 V5RC season to participate. Only one team from each school may attend. If your school has been fielding multiple V5RC teams during the RECF season, you can combine all your school's students and robots into a single WVSSAC Robotics team.
Registration for the event will close at 11:59 PM on Sunday, December 7, 2025.
We are always in need of volunteers! All volunteers will be provided with breakfast & lunch and a T-shirt, and roles are available for all ages and levels of previous experience. Sign up using the link below:
