Last week we got an email from our director for NH & VT saying that in the NEFIRST model the day before your competitions from 5-10 (preliminary and subject to change) teams are allowed to load in their event, pits open, and get inspected. Robots enter the event that evening bagged and at the conclusion of the event leave bagged. There has been talk of the 6 hour work window as used in Michingan and MAR but nothing official has been said. It sounds like this method is becoming standard for the two day district events.
