Waynedale Elementary will host a VEX IQ State Qualifying Robotics competition beginning at 8 a.m. for 30 Northeast Indiana-based elementary school robotics teams, including 12 teams from Fort Wayne. These teams design, build, and program robots to earn points collaboratively throughout a series of 60-second matches. The two teams with the highest average scores at the end of each competition earn an invitation to the State Championship held in Indianapolis in March.
