Re: Tips for First Time Championship Attendees
When you que up for matches it will be VERY different than from regionals. Matches are not announced in the pits at all (there are four divisions and two other sections of FIRST it's not possible. You should start heading towards your match 30 minutes in advance. The walk from the pits to the field is not as wretched as it was in Houston or Atlanta but there's alot of traffic in the tunnel leading to field including FTC teams and even pedestrians. Learn immediately the location of your field. Galileo is the closest to the exit from the tunnel and will be to your right. Newton will be to your left. On the other side of the arena Curie will be straight ahead and Archimedes left of Curie.
To the right of Curie is the FTC fields and to the right of Galileo is Einstein.
Security is tight down on the field. They are instructed to be very strict with who has access to the Dome floor so take good care to keep track of your Driver's button and media badge. You don't want to miss a match because of a misplaced button.
