WVROX — West Virginia RObotics Xtreme
Website: (search for latest info) Hosted by: Team 2614 (MARS) Duration: 26 hours and 14 minutes straight — the only FRC endurance event in the world
What Makes WVROX Unique
Most FRC events run 1-2 days. WVROX is different — it's an endurance marathon:
- 26+ hours continuous operation
- Bi-annual schedule (every other year)
- Live webcast — watch from anywhere
Why It Matters for 2890
- Driver endurance training — 26 hours is nothing like a normal match day
- Robot stress testing — run the robot hard for a full day, find weaknesses
- Scouting marathon — watch hundreds of matches, build comprehensive scout data
- Team stamina — tests the whole team, not just drivers
