Re: 101 Things I Wish I'd Known Before My First FIRST Tournament
er i think the count was lost, but still:- Don't run from a judge, it looks bad for your team (but I'm sure I did my first regional)
- On a similar note, judges aren't scary people, and after 6 weeks you'll be surprised at how much you can actually tell them about your robot. They'll love it, especially if you're not on pit crew.
- Have a mock-judge practice day where you can talk as a team about some things you can tell a judge if you are approached.
- Don't forget your Mountain Dew/ Pepsi/ Caffeine pills/ Sugar.
- If your robot has moving appendages that could possibly be at head level, don't under any circumstances get too close to the bot if it's on. (unless you, like me, are barely 5 feet tall and are never at risk for it hitting you.)
