11:30 – 1:30 – COMPETE in Oak!

• • (We will have a schedule posted on the screens to let teams know when they need to be on-deck.  Each team will compete in 3 matches, with each match lasting 2 minutes.  During that time, no one may touch any item on the board (except their robot).  Only team captains may pick up their robot to place it back on the designated start area(s) within that 2 minutes. More details are covered in the handbook that will be sent out soon…you can see last year’s on the website. )

1:35 – 1:45 – Awards Ceremony / Cleanup (results will be posted on this site at the conclusion of the competition.)
