(Southland Teams not eligible!) The food items will be donated to the local food shelf just in time for Thanksgiving!

Competition Preparation

This event is sure to be a fast-paced and exciting event. All teams should come prepared for the competition. Here are a few steps that every team should take to ensure that they are prepared.

Review the rules and run through the inspection checklist about a week before the competition so that there is ample time for adjustments. The inspection checklist can be found on the Documents tab.
Check the official VEX forums at events.vex.com for rule updates and changes.
Carefully read all of the information contained in the tournament posting on events.vex.com
Pack for the event the day before the day of departure. Here are a few items that you don't want to forget.

Remember that safety comes first, please don't bring tools that pose a safety risk to your team, or others nearby as the venue is a very tight fit. Southland Robotics will allow use of their metal cutting station in the robotics lab with adult supervision (bring your coach)-no cutting/grinding in the pit area please.
Ensure your robot brain has the latest version of firmware.
