Code of Conduct

The REC Foundation considers the positive, respectful, and ethical conduct of teams to be an essential component of the competition. Participants are expected to behave in a respectful and professional manner, and to operate as student-centered teams with limited adult assistance. This includes all students, teachers, coaches, mentors, parents, and spectators associated with a team.

For more details, please refer to the REC Foundation Code of Conduct and Student-Centered Policy. If you have concerns about compliance with the Code of Conduct, please speak to the Event Partner during the event.

Judging Format

This event will feature a hybrid judging model, with Digital Notebook Submissions and In-Person interviews of teams. We have prepared resources for students to prepare on the Purdue SIGBots Wiki found here: https://wiki.purduesigbots.com/the-judging-process/the-design-process

Notebook Submission

Notebooks will need to be submitted digitally through robotevents.com. The deadline to submit a notebook is by the end of the day March 2nd. 

Team Interviews

Each team will have an in-person interview. This format will be announced at the event, but will likely follow a format similar to the state championship. Some teams may be called to secondary interviews with judges.
