Description of the Volunteer Opportunity: 

"Robo"querque, where the world comes to play with robots!

The 18th annual RoboRAVE robotics competition needs your help! We anticipate over 1400 students from NM, AZ, CO, CA, NY, TX and more coming to the Albuquerque Convention Center to compete May 3-4, 2019! These kids design, build and program their 'bots to compete in a variety of challenges. 

Volunteers do not need robotics experience or knowledge. Just be willing to have fun! We encourage both individuals and groups/businesses/organizations to sign up!

We need help with setting up the competition areas, robot check-in, track monitors, tear down and much more! If you have a little more time to commit, we can always use some help leading up to the event — feel free to inquire about these opportunities, too!
