Code of Conduct

The REC Foundation considers the positive, respectful, and ethical conduct of teams to be an essential component of the competition. 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.

All team interviews will continue to be in person on Saturday.

Important Info:

• Team Interviews will occur in-person on Saturday, March 4th
• Engineering Notebooks must be submitted digitally via robotevents by Wednesday, March 1st, at 11:59PM to be reviewed by judges
