Other Notes on the Event

• FIRST® LEGO® League events are very ‘scripted’ in terms of time. Each team has multiple sessions that occur at specific times. It is very important to be on-time/ahead of schedule to your judging and robot matches. If there is a conflict, always make sure that the judging session takes priority (robot matches are easy to make up at a later time).
• If you bring your own mat for practicing during down time between robot matches and the judging session, please make sure that it is not blocking pathways or would make a hazard in an emergency. There will be 2 practice tables available in the pits for all teams to share.
• This event is open to the families of your participants. The main viewable portion of the event is being held in a school cafeteria so there should be enough space (but it is hard to say for certain depending on how many additional people show up per team).
• Team Information Sheet (attached; bring 1 copy; team to provide to judges at their judging session; helps the judges with details about your team)
• Review the packing list suggestions

Lunch

• The pits and robot game are in areas of the school that are friendly to food/drink, however, please remember to keep your pit areas clean. We are borrowing this facility for the day and must return it as clean or cleaner than when we arrived.

Need volunteers!

We could use a few additional adults to be a judge or referee. If you know someone who may be interested, please contact Justin Ivey at [email protected].
