Good Afternoon,
Thank you for registering for the Miami VEX qualifier hosted at Belen! We are very excited about the competition this Saturday. I know that it will be a great success for everyone! Before the competition starts, we have a few things that you should know.
Parking
Look out for our “Robotic Parking” signs that will direct you toward competition parking. Belen is also hosting a Cross Country meet that day and we need to coordinate the parking situation. For parking you will be using a side entrance. Registration will start at 8 am. You can find the registration desk in the Gym Lobby. The gym, which faces 127th ave, will be clearly identifiable as the robotics venue.
