Dove Robotics Invitational

The Dove Invitational is designed to provide students with a high-quality competitive experience that celebrates innovation, teamwork, and excellence in engineering. Whether your team is attending its first event of the season or competing for a championship qualification, our mission is to create an environment where every participant can learn, grow, and perform at their best. We are committed to delivering a professional, organized, and welcoming tournament that upholds the highest standards of RECF Robotics Competitions. Through fair play, strong sportsmanship, and a spirit of collaboration, we hope every team leaves with new knowledge, valuable experiences, and meaningful connections and a day of fun.

Robotics is about much more than building robots. It is about developing critical thinking skills, overcoming challenges, working together toward a common goal, and building confidence that extends far beyond the competition field. The lessons learned and friendships formed throughout the season often become lasting foundations for future success in education, careers, and life.  We encourage all teams to compete with integrity, support one another, and embrace every opportunity to learn. Most importantly, enjoy the experience and celebrate the incredible achievements that brought you here today.

Thank you to the students, coaches, mentors, volunteers, and families whose dedication and countless hours of effort make events like this possible. We are honored to host you and wish every team the very best throughout the competition.
