Important Team Information:

There will be food available for sale.

Available food will include pizza, chips, drinks and snacks. In the morning, there will also be doughnuts, bagels, OJ and coffee.

CLOSED PITS: Pit areas are for team members and 2 coaches only.  Each team will receive a Pit Pass Button for each team member and 2 coaches.  Only those with Pit Pass Buttons will be allowed into the Pit and onto the Robot Games floor area. The coaches can hand off the buttons to share but only those with a button will be allowed to enter.

There will not be video capture of these games or the presentation. Each team will receive ONE Camera Person Button.  This special Button allows the bearer to stand in the Camera Person Box at the Robot Games and the Presentations for the purpose of taking video or pictures.  This box will be marked on the floor with a large 'C' in it.  Please use this privilege graciously and respect the requests of the volunteers running the tournament.
