Competition Preparation 2022-2023

Here are a few steps that every team should take to ensure that they are prepared.

1.  Review the Spin Up Game Manual.

2.  Run through the inspection checklist. The 2022-2023 inspection checklists can be found here: TBA

3.  Make sure that all students have filled out the Participant Release Digital Form.  (also available in Spanish)

4.  Pack for the event the day before the day of departure. Here are a few items that you don't want to forget:

  • Safety Glasses
  • Engineering Notebook
  • Batteries and Chargers
  • Laptop
  • Spare Parts and Tools
  • Power Strip - We will do our best to provide 1 per table but you can never have enough.

5. Prep for your interviews with the judges. Practice answering some of these questions as a team:

  • Tell me about what your robot does and how?
  • Did you turn in an Engineering Notebook? When did you start making entries?
  • What part of your robot are you most proud of? Why?
  • What were the challenges of this year’s game that you considered before designing your robot? How did you design your robot to meet those challenges?
  • Has your approach to the game been effective? Why?
  • What does your robot do in autonomous mode? Who programed it?
  • What makes your robot effective at playing this year’s game?
  • Did you use any sensors? What are they used for? How do they operate in your autonomous mode? How do they operate in your driver-controlled mode?
  • Based on your robot’s performance so far, what would you like to improve?
  • Were there any other robots that inspired your robot design?

6.  Remember that safety comes first, please don't bring tools that pose a safety risk to your team, or others nearby. York High School will set up a designated area for using power tools.

7.  Don't forget that competitions are all about having fun! Cheer on your school and all the other teams participating.
