SkillsUSA Mobile Robotics Technology (MRoT)

Hello! As many of you know, I am Gigahertz.t, and I participate in SkillsUSA Mobile Robotics Technology (MRoT for short).

What I know: The competition that the SkillsUSA MRoT does is a variation of the VRC game.

The rubric for determining who wins though is based on different factors too (see the topic above). As for the current california state manual, here is the link (if you search up " {your state} + competition manuals" and scroll down the website’s spreadsheet you should see it):

What I don’t know: Is SkillsUSA a curriculum (like PLTW)? If it’s a curriculum, is there somewhere where I can take a look at it? If it’s not a curriculum, how does MRoT integrate into a course?

As for an MRoT curriculum specifically, SkillsUSA does not offer one from my knowledge (nor for just specific competitions). They do have a variety of programs for advisors, but I know very little of those (I can ask my advisor tomorrow about them). However, from doing a little search, I found these:
