This event will be held in the El Capitan School Gymnasium. All judging will be conducted in person, and notebooks will be collected when teams check-in. If your team uses a digital engineering notebook please print a hard copy.

There is plenty of free parking and space for team pop-ups if you want to bring them. Look for the yellow signs to show you where the gym is on campus.

Please bring robots ready to pass inspection. Staying on schedule is a priority; we can't end on time if we don't start on time.
