Dear TechX Competition Families!

Based on some questions I have received from the previous UPDATE, and in an effort to prepare for next week’s Parent Meeting, here are some new UPDATES below:

PARENT MEETING - TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 at 7:00 PM
As a friendly reminder, we will host a 1-Hour Parent Meeting next Tuesday, September 17 at 7:00 PM to help all TechX Competition families get on the same page. We will record the meeting but will not post it to the Public - you can only access through your Member Account. I will send out a reminder as the time gets close, but you can also get the link to the upcoming Meeting here: PARENT MEETING - Upcoming Tournaments and Other Questions

REC FOUNDATION CONSENT FORM
As mentioned in the previous UPDATE, please CONSENT FORM if you haven’t been able to do so yet. Here’s what I explained:

The VEX IQ Robotics Competition (VIQRC) is a collaboration between VEX Robotics and the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (or more popularly known as the “REC Foundation”). The REC Foundation and VEX Robotics require all participants to complete an Official Consent Form. While all student participants must have a completed Minor Consent Form, I would like to encourage parents who plan to attend tournaments to also complete the Adult Consent Form in case they help out in any way even if it is not by Coaching. Each link below contains both the Minor and Adult Consent Forms, and is listed by Team as the Team Number is prefilled (please check the top of this Update for your child’s Team Number):

• 277T Consent Forms (George, Naethan, Jillian)

• 277X Consent Forms (Vihaan, Nishant, Grayson)

• 277R Consent Forms (Lucas, Swaroop)
