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.

Review all game information

1. Review the rules and run through the inspection checklist about a week before the competition so that there is ample time for adjustments. Robots must use VEX IQ parts. Please self inspect before arriving at the tournament using the IQ Robot Inspection Checklist.
2. Check the  official VEX Forums for rule updates and changes.
3. Carefully read all of the information contained in the tournament posting on events.vex.com
4. Pack for the event the day before the day of departure. Here are a few items that you don't want to forget.
   • Spare parts & tools
   • Batteries and chargers
   • Power strip and extension cord (there will be power outlets throughout the pits, but may not be right next to your pit table)
   • Laptop computer
   • Programming cable
   • Engineering notebook (Required for judged awards)
   • Banners and other decorations for your team pit table
   • Giveaways if you have them
5. Review the descriptions and criteria for awards that are being given during the tournament.
6. Prep for your interviews with the judges and read the judges guide. Check the awards tab to see what awards will be given during the tournament.
7. Remember that safety comes first, please don't bring tools that pose a safety risk to your team, or others nearby, as teams are close to each other in the venue pit area. Also, remember no grinding or other actions that create sparks, ask the tournament director for a safe location if grinding is needed.
8. Ensure that you have the latest version of programming software and firmware for your IQ Brain.
