Participants are expected to behave in a respectful and professional manner, and to operate as student-centered teams with limited adult assistance. This includes all students, teachers, coaches, mentors, parents, and spectators associated with a team.

For more details, please refer to the REC Foundation Code of Conduct and Student-Centered Policy. If you have concerns about compliance with the Code of Conduct, please speak to the Event Partner during the event.

Agenda

This agenda is tentative and subject to change.  Please plan accordingly.  New teams should consider robotics competitions similar to track meets in that they are "All-Day" events subject to variables that can change the timeline.  Coaches and team members are advised not to plan additional commitments prior to or immediately following the scheduled end time listed below.  Teams who are not present during awards will not be eligible for awards.
