Introduction:

The Whitacre College of Engineering Outreach & Engagement Program will be hosting its yearly West Texas FIRST Tech Challenge Robotics Regional Championship Event and is in need of judges to help support the competition.

FIRST Tech Challenge is a robotics program for middle school and high school students where they must design, build, program, and present a robot that competes in a robot game that changes every year. Each season, a new theme is introduced to give students new challenges to solve! 

The TTU - College of Engineering Outreach Program is resposnbile for running and managing FIRST Tech Challenge for the West and Panhandle Texas area, which includes Lubbock, Amarillo, El Paso, Midland, and more! Each season ends with our local regional championship, where teams from all over West Texas will come to compete for a spot at the UIL, State, and World Championship. 

Judges are needed to help evaluate a team's robot and presentation that will occur at the competition, and help decide what judged awards a team will earn.
