Q. If the team is affiliated with a school is it supposed to be in-curricular or extra-curricular ? Or either.

It can be either. Some students take a robotics elective first semester, but train and compete second the semester with their teacher outside of class.

It depends on the specfic state SkillsUSA rules. Some states allow more that one team from a school to participate in state contests, especially larger states that have district qualifiers before the final state event. The winner of the state event moves on the the national contest.

Note - It is important to check with you State SkillsUSA director first. This will also confirm whether or not a Mobile Robotics event is planned in your state. If you are interested in hosting an state event, please contact me and I will try to navigate you through the process.



Hope this helps!
