Información general
General Info
VEX competitions can be very engaging. We hold our tournament in the commons area of the high school. There is plenty of room to spread out with access to electicity outlets.
Register on Time
Anyone who has run a tournament knows that the sooner you have an accurate count of who is coming, the happier you are. Thank you to all who register early.
Digital Engineering Notebooks
All engineering notebooks need to be in digital format and submitted by 5:00 pm Mountain Time, Monday, February 3rd. Notebooks are submitted through the team's RobotEvents.com logins by one of the team's registered contacts- How to Submit a VRC Digital Notebook. Check your link to ensure it works properly. All teams will be interviewed by the judges, but only those who submit a digitial engineering notebook, on time, will be considered for the Excellence, Design, and Innovate awards.
Competition Preparation
The best way for you to avoid problems is to arrive early enough to take care of any problems that may arise. All teams should come prepared to be inspected in a timely manner and to compete in their scheduled matches. Here are a few steps that every team should take to ensure that they are prepared.
1. Review the game rules and run through the inspection checklist about a week before the competition so that there is ample time for adjustments. The V-5 inspection checklist can be found here.
2. Check the official Q&A for the latest rule updates, changes, and clarifications.
3. Carefully read all of the information contained in the tournament posting on RobotEvents.com
4. Pack for the event the day before the day of departure. Here are a few items that you don't want to forget.
Goggles/Safety Glasses
Spare parts & tools
Batteries and chargers
Programming cable
Power strip
Laptop computer
5. Review the descriptions and criteria for the awards that are being given during the tournament. In particular the requirements for the Design Award figure into all of the judged awards that will be given at this tournament: Judges, Innovate, Design, and Excellence. There is a new Judging Guide out this year that you may want to take a look at. In particular, the Innovate Award is done a little differently than in previous years.
6. Prep for your interviews with the judges. The Judges will be in the commons area. If they don't find you, go find them.
7. Remember that safety comes first, please don't bring tools that pose a safety risk to your team, or others nearby as the venue is a tight fit. Also, remember no grinding or cutting in the commons. We will have a station for grinding and cutting set up in one of the classrooms.
8. Ensure that you have the latest version of firmware on your robot brain. Currently (June 2024) the most up to date version of VEXos is 1.1.3.
