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...

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.
