REC 2026

 

In 2026, we had 32 University teams with over 400 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 Uptime, Service, and Theming 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 encourage you to give as much detailed feedback as you wish.

 

Judge Perks

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

  • Judges may participate in our Discord server and participate in team design reviews.

  • Attending Event Judges may enjoy additional perks at the in-person competition.

We look forward to seeing you in 2027!
