CCHSA Riot Robotics IQ Middle School

General Info

The facility will be divided into clearly marked areas to designate spaces for the public, coaches and students, and exclusively students.

Please avoid coaching your team during a match and always allow the students to negotiate their alliance strategy with the other team without any intervention from coaches or parents. 

Team interviews will be conducted in public hallways adjacent to the gym. The Judge Adviser will coordinate with the head referee to ensure that teams do not miss an alliance match due to an interview. Some interviews may take place during the morning skills session. It is the responsibility of the teams to manage their time between completing their skills runs and attending a morning interviews. All teams approached for a morning interview will be given the opportunity to reschedule their interview time if needed.
