* Skill challenges—each team will be allowed four attempts at skill challenges. Teams will decide how they use their allotted attempts between the two skill challenges, for example, two programming and two robot, three programming and one robot, or all four robot. Keep in mind, the Excellence Award is based on team rankings in both programming and robot skill challenges. To avoid a bottle neck at the end of the tournament, teams are required to complete two of their skill challenge attempts by noon or forfeit them. Teams may complete more than two skill challenges prior to noon as long as the return to the end of the line after each attempt.

** Judging—teams will be judged on the Design Award and on the STEM Research Project Award. It is the responsibility of each team to seek out the judges during the allotted time. The Design Award and Stem Research Project Award are factored into the overall Excellence Award.

NOTE: Schedule—it is difficult to determine the amount of time each portion of the event will take, as a result, we will follow the order of events and hope our time estimates are close.
