Allgemeine information
Welcome to Scarborough's first V5RC Qualifier!
We are so excited to host you all on Saturday, October 26th.
For fundraising, our team will have breakfast, lunch, and snack items for sale in the cafeteria. Concessions will be CASH ONLY.
We will be collecting engineering notebooks digitally. Please upload them to Robot Events by EOD Thursday 10/24 so that we can make sure our judges will have them ready to go for the event.
Competition Preparation
To ensure teams are prepared, here are several steps teams should take.
-
Review the High Stakes Game Manual and Inspection Checklist.
-
Make sure that all students have filled out the Participant Release Digital Form.
-
Check RobotEvents Official Q&A for official rule interpretations and clarifications.
-
Carefully read the information below to help prepare your team for the tournament:
-
Pack for the event the day before the day of departure. Here are a few items that you don't want to forget:
- Safety Glasses
- Joystick controller and programming cable
- Batteries and Charger
- Laptop and power supply
-
Power Strip - We will do our best to provide 1 per table but you can never have enough.
-
Remember that safety comes first, please don't bring tools that pose a safety risk to your team, or others nearby. All metal cutting will take place in our designated cutting area. Students wishing to use the cutting area must provide adult supervision from their own coach/mentor/chaperone.

Finally, be sure to prep for your judges' interview. Practice answering some of these questions as a team:
- What does your robot do, and how does it score points?
- How did you develop this robot design?
- Which team members built the robot?
- What part of your robot are you most proud of? Why?
- Were there any other robots that inspired your robot design? How?
- What changes did you make to improve your design during the season?
- What was the most difficult challenge your team has overcome so far?
- Did you use any sensors? What are they used for? How do they operate in your autonomous mode? How do they operate in your driver-controlled mode?
- What problems did you have in working on your robot? How did your team solve them?
- If you had one more week to work on your robot, how would you improve it?
- Has your game strategy been effective? How and why?
- Tell us about your robot’s programming; who was the primary programmer?
- What were the challenges of this year’s game that you considered before designing your robot? How did you design your robot to meet those challenges?
- What are your goals for Driver Skills and Autonomous Coding Skills scores? What are your average scores?
