Concessions will be available.
Spectators
Spectators are allowed at this time, if that changes the team coaches will be notified.
Team Health
Please monitor the health of your team. We trust that everyone keeps their teams informed of their health as related to COVID infection. Anyone with potential COVID symptoms or possible COVID exposure should not attend the tournament.
Pit Tables
We will provide extra space between tables in the pit area and the walking areas from the pits to the competition field. We prefer multiple teams from the same organization so that organizations can have pit tables in social groupings. We will provide enough space so that there is proper spacing between team tables and a larger spacing between organizations. Individual teams will be grouped together at one table.
Competition Fields
We will be using two competition fields, one skills field, and one practice field. Robots and drivers will need to arrive ready to compete.
Changing Conditions
We might need to make adjustments to our event due to local and state COVID guidelines. The team coaches will be notified of any changes as we get closer to the event.
