Competition Preparation:

This event is sure to be a fast-paced and exciting event. All teams should come prepared for competition. Here are a few steps that every team should take to ensure that they are prepared...

1. Review the rules and run through the inspection checklist before the competiton so that there is ample time for adjustments. 

2. Check the official VEX forums for rule updates and changes.

3. Pack for the event the day before the day of departure. Remember: Goggles/Safety glasses, spare parts and tools, batteries and chargers, power strip, extension cord, laptop computer, engineering notebook (if you have one, helpful for Judges, Innovate, Design, and Exellence Awards - yes, we will have those, banners/decorations for your team pit, giveaways if you want. Be certain you've reviewed the updated Qualifying Criteria for consideration for the Excellence Award.

4. Safety comes first. Tools brought with you should not pose a safety risk with sparks, etc.

5. Understand how the game will be played. VEX participants are more than welcome to watch the referee training videos before they attend a tournament. The referee videos can be found using this https://www.roboticseducation.org website.

6. Be certain you have the latest updates for all your equipment.
