Who We Are

Built from competition experience.

SCREAM was founded after the 2023 VEX Robotics season by competitors and volunteers who saw a need for dependable event support in South Carolina.

Members of the team have supported state competitions, the Kalahari Signature Event, and the VEX Worlds Championship. Their roles have included refereeing, judging, scoring, technical support, event operations, and competition management.

That experience shapes a practical organization focused on event technology, production support, competition operations, livestreaming, and experienced event personnel.

Event Operations

Prepare the complete environment.

The work starts before competition begins. Organization, technology, field setup, testing, and clear responsibilities need to come together before teams arrive.

Competition Perspective

Design for the people using the system.

Direct experience as competitors and volunteers informs practical technical choices, clear communication, and workflows that help an event run smoothly.
