Please review the following policies regarding pit areas at the VEX Robotics World Championship. Pits are located in Hall F for VRC HS and VIQC MS or Hall A/B for VRC MS, JROTC, VEX U and VIQC MS.
Note: To see locations, check back prior to VEX Worlds for event map.
- Dimensions – Pit areas are 10' x 10'. That includes a 6'x30" table and two chairs.
- Fire Safety – Pit areas cannot extend into the aisles due to Fire Marshall regulations.
- Visibility – Pit areas must be visible from the sides and top (no total enclosures, so that the inside of the pit area is not visible).

- Fields – Fields are allowed to be set up in the pit area as long as they stay within the 10' x 10' pit area.
- Height – Pit areas cannot exceed the top of the pipe and drape.
- Cleanliness – Teams should be considerate and keep their pits cleaned and organized to ensure a safe working environment.
- Power – A power drop is available in each pit.
