Judging Format

Notebooks need to be turned in electronically.  Please note the judge's guide. 

The notebooks should be uploaded in Robotevents.com by the registration deadline.  It is not in the ethos of the competition that students should be punished for a mistake their coach made, so we will reach out if there are any issues.

Initial interviews will be scheduled before the tournament.  Keep an eye on your emails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
