Open

Welcome to the CREATE Robotics National Championship tournament. This is the CREATE OPEN event. (The CREATE Jr. can be found in their own event.) This year, CREATE's signature event will be held in the Iowa West Field House. This facility will be the perfect home for the 2025 National Robotic Championship. Teams from across the United States will be invited to this unique event.

For more information and schedules please visit the tournament page at:

You can find the rules for the OPEN Program at:
https://www.create-found.org/2025.php

It is important you review these rules as they require a different strategy from the VRC Over Under rules. We believe this change of rules will make for an enriched learning experience and engineering challenge for each of the teams!

To be considered for any of the judged awards you must participate in remote judging!

TEAMS can sign up for the Remote judging here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0E4BADA62CA3FE3-54216079-team#/
