General information

Enginotic 6 Robotics (E6) is proud to host the Legacy of Innovation Signature Event, a RECF Achieve High School competition at The Meadow Event Park's Farm Bureau Center in Doswell, Virginia on February 12–13, 2027. This is a two-division, 128-team event offering qualification toward the RECF World Championship.


Legacy of Innovation is a celebration of the generations of Black inventors, engineers, and scientists whose work has shaped the fields our students compete in every day. This event puts that legacy in front of students directly — not as history to memorize, but as a standard to meet and a path that's open to them.

What to expect:

- Six competition fields (three per division), elevated and on risers

- Full livestream coverage with an on-site broadcast and interview set

- On-site concessions, a team store, and vendor tables from local businesses
