This is the public index for competing. Account tools, payments, and inspection checklists stay in Lightning. They are not duplicated here.
2025–2026 season

Event registration ran from January 11, 2026 through March 15, 2026. It is closed.
Season assessments were due by March 29, 2026.
Rules and manuals are the source of truth for what was legal on the field. Season One explains the three events. New team registration on this site is a prototype intake for a future season, not a reopening of 2026 signup.
ARCTIC
The ARC Technical Innovation Conference runs with the competition. Submission details for 2026 were posted on the previous site under participant resources. The March 1, 2026 announcement opened intent-to-submit forms for that conference.
A team of your own
Teams are student-run. If you want to join a school that already competes, write to that team. If your school does not have one, start with the forum and the community Discord, then use the registration form so operations knows you exist.
