Last year's schedule
Parking Information
Each team will be allocated one parking spot at Matthews Arena.
All other vehicles should park at the Rennaissance Garage (see map)
which offers all day parking for $5.00. Buses will be directed to
park alongside the fence in front of the Arena.
Mentor Matches
This year we will continue to have the exciting Mentor's Match! In this match, we would like to see
drive teams consisting of two mentors and a mentor as the robocoach.
We all know that the mentors work hard behind the scenes, but this will
give them a chance to show their stuff on the field. We would also like to give a high school student a
chance at role reversal by coaching this match.
The Mentor's Match will take place after lunch and will not count towards the final standings, so put your
best mentors forward!
Rule Changes:
Will be posted as soon as possible.
