Skills Challenge
Skills Challenge was available again at Session 3. An issue from the previous session had been resolved, with all past skills scores retained. Teams could complete:
- 3 Max Driver attempts
- 3 Max Programming attempts
Teams were encouraged to take advantage of their opportunities at each session, as the same structure would apply at the League Play Championship — the final session where all rankings were determined.
Looking Ahead
With Session 3 complete, teams were set for the League Play Championship, where final rankings would be determined, judging would take place, and awards would be presented. The league format gave coaches and students a season's worth of competition experience in a lower-pressure, multi-session format — a hallmark of the Omaha area VEX IQ program.
