As the tournaments nears, coaches please watch for additional information via email. All the most up-to-date information regarding food, reminders, etc. will be published here on RobotEvents for teams.

Registration Fee: All teams must have the registration fee paid prior to attending the State Championship.
Competition Preparation: Teams should come prepared to compete. Review the Over Under Game Manual, run through the Robot Inspection Checklist, and ensure your team is running the latest programming and firmware version and your Robot Brain has your team number. We will be using the Smart Field Control.
Please note: We will be following an all in-person judging format. Only physical copies of engineering notebooks will be collected during team check-in. Teams who have digital notebooks will need to print off the most recent version for judges to review. Judge interviews will take place in-person at the team's booth in the pit area.
