As you make plans to attend CMP,
be aware the Wednesday night Load In will include the opportunity to work on your robot and encrypt your radio—details to come. Again, qualification rounds start at 1 PM on Thursday, April 26th—your robot must have passed inspection by then! Plan ahead to make sure you have all the necessary team members on hand. Only five
(5) team members per team will be allowed in the pits. Please remember one (1) of these team members must be an adult.
Robots/Crates: Every team receives a donated FedEx shipment HOME from the CMP.
You must ship your robot and any additional crates home through Shepard Exposition Services. You cannot take your robot or crate from the event unless you have received written permission from FRC. All exception requests for the CMP should be received by
April 18th.
