Judges
REC 2026
In 2026, we had 32 University teams with over 300 total students. The teams were split into an East Division and a West Division.
The Judging Process
-
Each Judge scores at least one section for all teams in one division.
-
Reports and technical documents are scored ONLINE before the competition event.
-
Ride Functionality, Service, and Theme are scored at the competition event in April.
-
A single judge may score multiple sections but must score all teams for the scores to be valid.

Teams earn every point they get, and we allow you to give as much detailed feedback as you wish.

All judges will receive a resume book of students that compete, and gain access to all deliverables.
