  4. The student is committed to attend all Saturday (8-3pm) Robotic competitions. These start as early as October and end in February. No more than four competitions in a school year. Dates to come.  
  5. The student follows the school rules: respectful, responsible, safe, and kind.  Students are committed to follow the code of conduct.
  6. VEX IQ Robotics is a TEAM competition, which means that all members participate equally and understand all four components to the competition: STEM research project, designing and building, programming, and driving. Students need to be interested in, and help their team with, all four components.
