The Butte County Robotics League Championship wraps up the RECF Engage season on Saturday, December 12, at STREAM Charter School in Oroville. Elementary and middle school teams from across the league compete for the season's top awards, and it takes a full crew of volunteers to make the day run.

Most roles need no robotics background. We'll train you at check-in. Our biggest needs are Field Reset, Scorekeeper Referees, Queuing, Judges, and the setup and teardown crews.

Volunteer schedule:

  • Friday, December 11, [setup time TBD]: Setup crew builds fields and sets up the venue
  • 7:00 AM: Volunteer check-in and training
  • 7:45 AM: Teams check in, pits open, robot inspection begins
  • 8:30 AM: Team meeting
  • 9:00 AM: Alliance matches, solo matches, and judging interviews
  • 11:30 AM: League rankings final, finals pairings posted
  • 12:00 PM: Lunch
  • 1:00 PM: Finals matches
  • 2:00 PM: Awards ceremony
  • 2:30 PM: Event closes, teardown begins (about 2 hours)

Can't stay all day? Morning and afternoon help is welcome. Just choose your availability when you register. Teardown help after 2:30 is especially appreciated.
