Hello All,
The Remix is set for Saturday, September 23, and Sunday, September 24, at College Park HS in The Woodlands, Texas. Team load-in will start at 1:00 PM on Saturday. Matches will start at 3:00 PM and run until 7:00 PM Saturday evening. Matches will continue at 8:30 AM Sunday with alliance selection at lunch, followed by the playoffs at 1:30 PM.
We are capping registration at 32 teams. Teams will be allowed to register a second robot but those will automatically be assigned to the waitlist to allow as many teams as possible to bring one robot. If we reach 32 teams, alliances will consist of four robots during the elimination rounds. The top eight teams are not allowed to select each other. The selection sequence will be serpentine, 1 - 8, 8 - 1, and 1 - 8. Event registration is $400. Once your team has registered, you will receive an invoice via email for the registration fee.
As many of you know, The Remix is scheduled for the fall so pre-rookie teams can participate in the event. This gives them valuable experience before they ever attend a district event. We are hoping to waive the registration fee for pre-rookie teams.
Please use this link to register your team.
We are supporting several charities during The Remix and need your help.
- As in the past, we will be collecting Bed-in-a-Bag sets for one of the organizations we support called Angel Reach. They help adults that have aged out of the foster care system, providing training, education, and housing in one of their residences. When they take in new clients, the first item Angel Reach provides is a fresh set of bedding. These are sold as “Bed-in-a-Bag” and they need mostly twin sets. Texas Torque will buy pillows to go with each set of bedding brought in. Every team is expected to bring at least one set of bedding.
- We are also collecting LEGO sets to take to children at the Texas Medical Center. The kits are small, typically $10. Here is a link to an example.
If you would like to send the bedding or Lego kit directly to us, the shipping address is

We also need volunteers to run the event. Please use our volunteer registration form if you would like to help.
Do not hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions. I will respond as quickly as possible.
