Some Reminders:
1. Bring at least one set of fully charged batteries for your robot and controller.

2. Your engineering notebook should be highlighted according to the directions in the manual and turned in at
registration.

3. Consent forms must be turned in at registration, signed by every team member (or parent thereof), coach, and
mentor.

4. Food will be available--menu attached. To be sure that you get the meals you want, order and pay for your food
when you arrive.

5. You can bring coolers, but be sure to label them. They must stay in the pit area and not in the way of other teams.

6. Items to trade make the competition more fun!

7. You will be observed in the pit and competition areas by the judges in addition to your (2) 10-minute interviews.

8. The coaches and drivers will meet together with the judge advisor and head referee in the gym from 9-9:20. Have
any questions ready as the meeting will be brief. This is a change from the team letter previously sent out.

9. Do not forget to bring a picture of the team for the judges!

10. You will have one 10-minute practice round and 3 qualifying rounds prior to the finals.

11. Remember surge protectors and everything needed to plug in power packs and laptops.

12. You will have your own table to decorate and/or display information about your team.

13. You must have a way to attach a flag to your robot. It is on a spoon straw and must be attached to a Vex part.
