Announcements
VERY VERY IMPORTANT: Volunteering for Vexmen December Events - We are releasing our volunteer forms for the Vexmen Open (IQ). These events require a TON of support, so all teams are required to volunteer in order to be able to compete. Please sign-up sooner than later to secure your spot!
License Plates - All teams need license plates to compete at local events. Please work with the build chief to get your plates!
Vexmen Shirts - All students should be wearing their vexmen apparel at events. If you are looking for an additional shirt or other swag, please check in with the build chief.
Game Manual Updates - December 4, the game design committee (GDC) released a game manual update. PLEASE check it out and make sure you are aware. (IQ)
