Volunteer

We’re always on the lookout for support who want to see students crush it.

We are grateful for the time and expertise you donate so that students may learn and be inspired by you.

What is a Volunteer?

A volunteer assists with physical or general tasks related to executing the onsite event. Volunteer opportunities include, but are not limited to, event set-up and tear down, registration check-in, score runners, course monitors, audio/visual assistants, and more.

What is a Judge?

A judge is responsible for scoring and evaluating team performance in various competition components (i.e., pool courses, team videos, team websites, technical design reports, etc.). This scoring and evaluation may be done online in advance of the event or onsite at the event.

2019 RoboSub Team

2020 RoboBoat Judge

“I had a great time reviewing these designs and supporting websites and videos. Having never been to RoboBoat it absolutely made me sad that this year’s competition was cancelled and I will have to wait until next year to see these boats in action. There were some fantastic designs that I think would have done amazingly during the competition.”
