Note from Duel FTA (FIRST Technical Advisor) Liz Smith:Remember to bring your D-link DAP1522 white radios with you to the competition. There will be a WPA key programming kiosk at the scoring table by the field. It is necessary to have the radio programmed specifically for Duel and we ask that teams please bring their radios over to the kiosk as soon as possible upon arrival.
Doors open at 7am. Practice starts at 7:45am. Teams are assigned practice slots, but are not guaranteed one if you are not ready during your assigned time. It is important that we work to start opening ceremonies on time, so we can finish at a reasonable hour. Please be adaptable.
