The 2022 Remix
Texas Torque is excited to announce that we will be hosting The Remix for the first time since 2019. The Remix will take place from 9:00 AM CST to 4:00 PM CST on September 24, 2022.
The Remix is an excellent opportunity for pre-rookie teams to prepare for a district event, and we do not charge them to participate. Although we do not use The Remix as a fundraiser, any profits remaining after we cover expenses will go to support the Montgomery County Women’s Center, Angel Reach (a program for young adults that have aged out of the foster care system but still need support), and the Texas Childen’s Hospital.
Details regarding The Remix are available here and a commercial can be viewed below. We hope to see you there!

Texas Torque will be hosting a robotics camp at our lab this summer alongside Pearadox 5414 and VorTX 3735 to teach FLL (LEGO Robotics) to 5th-8th grade students this summer from July 28-July 30 (1pm-4pm) at The Woodlands College Park High School. If you’re interested in signing up, please fill out the Google Form (forms.gle/L8SXYUiBjaord3wEA) and we hope to see you there!
