The competition fields and pits will all be in the Reseda South Gym, the big one. This should eliminate any need for drive teams to be running with their robots.
The Competition Fields will be surrounded by ropes and stanchions. Only drivers and volunteers can be in the competition area. Repeated violations could be a violation of Rule <G1>.
Spectators should have a seat and not stand at the ropes blocking the view of other spectators.
