3. Teams pair (tether) the Controller to the Robot.
4. The Team shows on video a closeup view of the Starting Position to provide video evidence that the Robot is in a legal starting position.

6.The Team starts a Match when the clock begins.
7. After the Match, the Team must move the camera to each of the Goals saying out loud what counts as scored and records onto an official referee scoresheet.
8. The scoresheet is then shown clearly on video for a minimum of 10 seconds. While the scoresheet is being recorded, Teams can reset the field for the next Match.
9. The Team can then repeat steps 3-8 for their remaining allotment of Matches, i.e. maximum of 3 Programming Skills Matches and 3 Driving Skills Matches, one after another on the same video recording.
