How does that work at the event? Is it a first come first serve basis or do we have to sign up beforehand?
thanks,

We have done practice field signups, as well as first-come first-serve, depending on how deep the queue is at any point in time.
I would come in on Thursday and sign up for the practice field ASAP. If you have significant robot issues you are working on in the pit, please let the practice field attendant know so other teams ahead of you can start early, and/or swap timeslots with another team on the list.
We have some excellent Control System Advisors and Robot Inspectors who will assist you in debugging and obtaining parts from the Spare Parts desk as well. Spare Parts carries replacements for some but not all of the Kit of Parts items, but you can always ask at Pit Admin if any teams at the event have a spare cylinder/cRIO bumper/Flux Capacitor/etc. Finger Lakes has a number of veteran teams who are local and 'well stocked', and they'll do their best to make sure you can get back on the field and compete.
Good luck and see you in a few weeks!
