Información general
General Information:
Thank you for being a part of Kern IQ Robotics. We have put in a great deal of planning to make your experience a very positive one, but there are some ground rules that we need to set to keep things running smoothly.
Please make checks payable to Bakersfield City School District.
In an effort to start on time, we need all teams checked in no later than 9:00 in the morning, and inspected no later than 9:20. Those teams not checked in and inspected by those times may be dropped from the competition without refund of registration fees. Should you find yourselft stuck in traffic or have issues getting to the event, please call Dusty Wittman (661) 631-4526 or Lisa Canales (661) 631-4779.
If plans change and your teams are unable to participate in this tournament, let us know as soon as possible so that we can offer those spots to teams on the waitlist. Please contact Dusty Wittman at (661) 631-4526 or email [email protected] or Lisa Canales at (661) 631-4779 or email [email protected] should you need to withdraw from the tournament.
Event Layout:
In the competition arena, there will be 2-3 competition fields, 2 skills fields, and bleacher seating for roughly 250 spectators. Overflow seating is available outside in a covered seating area. All spectators will have access to live field game play. In the pit area, each team will have approximately 6 feet of table space and a dedicated power station. There will be 2 practice fields. Space is limited for teams to bring their own field. If you do bring your own field, please check in with Dusty Wittman before setting it up in the pits; we will do our best to find a location for you.
