  is welcome to attend. FIRST events are always free and open to the publ
 ic. Please ensure that your guests comply with parking fees on the ASU c
 ampus.\n\n\n\nBased on RSVPs\, we expect more attendees than the LaSala 
 Ballroom's holding capacity in the University Center Building. This may 
 be a problem for the closing ceremony. We will be livestreaming the enti
 re day of robot competitions\, including the opening and closing ceremon
 ies. Even if we are forced to limit the number of audience members in th
 e ballroom\, everyone will be able to watch the award ceremony online or
  on large TVs in the pit area.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck-in\n\n\n\n\n\nTeam c

 dule\n\n\n\nThis event is highly scripted around time. Judging sessions 
 have priority over robot game match. Please arrive at least 5 minutes be
 fore your judging session or robot game match. Think of it as boarding t
 ime vs pushback from gate … you do not want to miss your flight! Robot
  rounds will likely run faster once judging sessions are completed.\n\n\
