Please have your teams review carefully the game manual and robot inspection checklist VERY carefully, as we will enforce all regulations for this event since it will be considered a state qualifying event. No variances in robot dimensions, motor requirements, etc. will be allowed. Your robot cannot take the field if it is not within the prescribed standards. Have your teams and adult mentors also review the new guidelines for the Code of Conduct and Student-Centered policies. There are some very important modifications as to what is considered permissible interactions during qualification matches.
