Do not bring an iPad. Team is disqualified if Bluetooth is used anywhere. All programming must be done with a laptop and USB cable.
Everyone must arrive 10 minutes early to all matches and the presentation. No one will wait for us if we are late and we will get zero points.
The team schedule looks as follows:
Coach Will recapped the idea of Gracious Professionalism and how the kids can implement it:
Talk with other teams and try to make new friends.
Ask other teams about their Innovation Project and Robot design. Get some good ideas for next year.
During the tournament, cheer for the other team when their robot gets points.
If another team is struggling, see if you can help them.
Shake hands or High 5 the other teams after the match.
Reset the missions in the Practice Pit area before and after each practice.
