Competition Preparation
All teams should come prepared for competition. Here are a few steps that every team should take to ensure that they are prepared.
1. Review the rules and run through the VEX V5 inspection checklist about a week before the competition so that there is ample time for adjustments.
2. Pack for the event the day before the day of departure.
Here are a few items that you don't want to forget:
- Goggles/Safety Glasses (everyone who is on the field MUST wear goggles/safety glasses)
- Spare parts & tools
- Batteries and chargers
- Programming cable
- Power strip
- Laptop computer
3. Remember that safety comes first, please don't bring tools that pose a safety risk to your team or others nearby. Cutting and grinding will be done in a specific area away from your pits.
4. Understand how the game will be played. VEX participants should thoroughly read the game rules. Additional rulings and interpretations of the game rules can be found on the VEX Events Official Q and A.
