SCRIW XV

The Carolinas' oldest FIRST Robotics Competition off-season event celebrates 15 years!

Teams 1293 (Pandamaniacs) and 2815 (Blue Devil Mechanics) invite you to join us for the fifteenth annual South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops!  SCRIW is a one-day competition, and one of your final opportunities to play REBUILT presented by Haas on an official competition field.  Teams come from hours away to introduce their new students to the FIRST experience, try out new robot upgrades, learn new things, and have some more fun with their robots!

(Oh, and the mentor match at the end for charity will be back this year.)

SCRIW is open to all FIRST Robotics Competition teams, regardless of location or district affiliation.

Pricing and Registration Details for SCRIW XV

We have worked hard to hold the line on pricing for teams to keep SCRIW accessible.

Standard team entry (for teams that played in 2026 with an official team number) is $450, if payment is postmarked by September 28, 2026.  The entry fee will be $500 for checks postmarked after this date, or for payment received on the day of the event.  We accept checks, credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Cash App Pay.

B-team entries (for teams fielding a second robot using a temporary team number) will be $250.  B-teams will be held on a waitlist until September 14, to ensure teams have adequate opportunity to enter their first robot.  We won't take your money for them until the space is confirmed.

If you're a new organization to FIRST fielding a 2027 rookie team, you can compete with a separate robot at no charge.  

Our planned capacity is 28 robots; we are making 25 slots available to first-come-first-served registration.  In the event that a waitlist is needed, teams will be pulled off of it in this priority order:

1. Teams affiliated with Richland One schools (as they've been quite generous with venue help for SCRIW over the years!)

2. 2027 rookie teams, in order of registration time

3. Teams' first robots, in order of registration time

4. B-team robots, in order of registration time
