Gracious Professionalism® and Coopertition® are at the heart of FIRST! For rookie teams, this means coming to the meets with a sense of curiosity and good sportsmanship. For more seasoned teams, it means the same plus paying forward all of the help and sense of inclusion you’ve received over the years to newer teams. Get to know one another, ask questions, answer questions and have FUN!
 
Registration
All teams and their mentors should be registered through the FIRST Registration System. There is no need to bring team rosters to the event.​
 
​Volunteering
League meets depend on volunteers and we can really use your help! Each team is required to provide at least one volunteer for each event. To volunteer, please sign-up through the FIRSTinspires.org Volunteer Management System (VMS) using the following links:

Coffee, light snacks, and lunch will be provided for all-day volunteers.
Bring your own food if you'd like something different or have a special diet or any dietary restrictions. If you are a competing team affiliated volunteer, please plan on eating with your team.  Please remember to bring your reusable water bottles. Water filling stations are available on campus.
 
​Lunch & Snacks - Pre-Order Lunch for the Whole Team!
While teams are welcome to bring their own food to the venue, we also encourage advanced orders through the Overclocked Parents Association! This purchase not only provides the most convenient way to feed your team but also helps us feed our volunteers!

 Robots, Pits, Inspections and Matches
Inspections are completed on a first come, first served basis and will start just after 8:00am. After you check-in and find your pit, please proceed to the inspection area. Please bring your completed Robot Inspection checklist with you to Inspection. (There is no Field Inspection this year!)
​

Your pit will have power. Weather permitting, they will be outside. We'll provide a 10' wide space.  Bring your own table, pit chairs, and pop-up for shade if you like.  We'll continue the practice of having you chose your pit from available options when you arrive. If you have a cart, please ensure it has soft, gym floor friendly wheels otherwise we can't let you use it in the building.
As a reminder, each team is responsible for ensuring their robot/driver communications are operable and that the latest updates have been downloaded and installed. Other teams may be able to assist you, but ultimately, it is your team’s responsibility to make sure your robot can communicate with your drive team. Wi-Fi will NOT be available at the venue.

Match lists will be handed out at the event. All teams must be prepared for the possibility of being scheduled for the first match. Teams in the first 3 matches should be ready to place their robots on the field prior to the Coaches and Drivers Meeting. We are not planning any practice matches.
We plan to hold mini-tournaments, with alliance selection at the end of the qualification matches as we have in previous years. These tournaments are for fun and experience and do NOT affect region standings in any way.


Safety goggles are required by anyone visiting the Pits or within 5 feet of the playing field. Please bring enough safety goggles for each team member and guests who will visit the Pits.
​

Engineering Notebooks/Portfolios are NOT required for Meets 1-3. There won't be any judging during Meet #1, #2, or #3. 

For more information on this season's meet format and competition details, see our Season Info page.  

​
​Please be gracious guests and help keep the venue clean.  We want to be invited back next year!
