Competition Preparation

All teams should come prepared for competition. Here are a few steps that every team should take to ensure that they are ready.

Review all game information: Current Game Webpage.

1. Review the rules and run through the inspection checklist about a week before the competition to allow ample time for adjustments. Robots must use VEX V5 parts. Please self-inspect before arriving at the tournament using the V5 Robot Inspection Checklist.

2. Check the official VEX forums for rule updates and changes.

3. Carefully read all of the information contained in the tournament posting on events.vex.com

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

   • Goggles/Safety Glasses

   • Spare parts & tools

   • Batteries and chargers

   • Power strip

   • Laptop computer

   • Programming cable

   • Banners and other decorations for your team's pit table

5. Review the descriptions and criteria for the awards being presented during the tournament.

6. Prep for your interviews with the judges and read the Judges' Guide. Check the awards tab to see what awards will be given during the tournament.

7. Remember that safety comes first. Please refrain from bringing tools that pose a safety risk to your team or others nearby, as teams are closely situated in the venue pit area. Also, remember to avoid grinding or other actions that create sparks. If grinding is necessary, ask the tournament director for a safe location.

8. Ensure that you have the latest version of programming software and firmware for your V5 Brain.
