Take advantage of some of the special deals for FIRST teams, if you have time. The Aquarium is a good one.
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes; you'll be doing a LOT of walking.
RoboProm. I've never been, but I hear it's good. Talk to 399.
The CNN Center is across the street and has a food court. Follow the stream of teams and hope you can find a table.
The weather could do almost anything. Plan accordingly.
Visit Scholarship Row and the Supplier Showcase. They're right outside the pits.

Excellent advice all of it. As a current resident of Atlanta, I would have to definitely stress that MARTA is very cheap and convenient, but always build a few minutes of waiting time into your schedule. And as for the weather, it's always crazy in Atlanta. Right now it's lightly snowing, but it's supposed to be in the 70s on Friday. Very unpredictable.
