Judging Format
All In-Person Judging - The Team Interviews and Engineering Notebooks will be judged in-person the day of the event. Teams should bring a physical copy of their notebook to submit to the judges.
Rather that judges going around to teams in the pits, we will have them set up in the gym so that teams can queue and come to them when it works out best with their schedule.
