Hey, I was just wondering how you sign up to be a volunteer at a VEX robotics competition. I live in the toronto area, and have been searching the VEX website, but was unable to find where to apply to be a volunteer, can anyone help me out?
As far as i know, you find events that you are interested at volunteering at www.robotevents.com and then from there get in contact with the organizer of the individual event. For large events such as the All-Star Challenge and World Championship, it is not uncommon to have an online volunteer registration form (which would be found on the robotevents.com page for that event).
Thanks for your interest in volunteering, as VRC relies on volunteers to stay great!
I would check on www.robotevents.com for vex regionals in your area. The posting for each competition should have info like email and phone numbers to contact an event organizer to volunteer at the event. However there are few competitions posted for the 2011- 2012 Gateway season at this point.
Thanks guys, that explains why I could not see any regionals in my area just yet, i guess ill have to wait! Thanks again.
You could always look for events in your area from the previous year. Frequently, the same people organize events year after year.
