In March 2019, local VRC and VEX IQ teams heading to the US Open competition came together for a collaborative assembly party — a chance to build, prepare, and help one another get competition-ready.
The location shifted at the last minute, moving to the Iowa West Field House in Council Bluffs. Here are the updated details:
