Thank you in advance! Texas BEST competitions would not be possible without the hundreds of dedicated volunteers who donate their time and talent. Volunteers are role models. Over the course of the Texas BEST weekend, volunteers interact with parents, students, and teachers. This is a championship event for a national program and all participants have worked very hard to get to this point. Volunteers should put their best foot forward and be helpful, friendly, and overall good stewards of BEST Robotics and The University of Texas at Dallas.
The Texas BEST Regional Competition will occur on Thursday December 5 through Saturday December 7 at the Comerica Center and Conference Center in Frisco, TX. 72 teams are expected to participate.
All positions are described below and you must be at least 16 years old to volunteer (and 18+ yr old for Judges roles). Any necessary materials and training will be provided to you via email before your chosen day(s) of volunteering and/or on-site. If you need assistance using iVolunteer.com portal, please refer to this User Guide (PDF).
