Kenosha Robo Crew Tournament

Welcome to the 2027 Kenosha Robo Crew Robotics Tournament! This is our third year running this event, and we can't wait to have you all back! This event is ran by the Kenosha Robo Crew in collaboration with Shoreland Lutheran High School, sponsored by Jockey International, and hosted at a Shoreland federation grade school (this year at St. John's Lutheran School in Burlington, WI). A huge thank-you to our partners: Kenosha YMCA and the Kenosha Emerging Leaders Academy. This would not be possible without the support of the Jockey STEM / Robotics Initiative, which has helped to kickstart and care for various STEM and Robotics opportunities in the Kenosha area. Blessings on your season and we can't wait to see you in February!

If the event is canceled due to circumstances outside of our control, a refund will be issued to teams minus the $5 RECF processing fee.
