The biggest this is that no outside food is allowed in the venue. Prepare to have your bags checked for food/drinks by venue security. Equipment entering pits through the loading dock has been checked in the past as well.

Speaking of the loading dock, it's actually a steep ramp. Make sure anyone rolling equipment down has a partner.

Team 422 is excited to be one of the six teams celebrating its 15th anniversary with VirginiaFIRST this weekend at the Virginia Regional! It's wonderful to think that some of our team members have been alive for less time than VirginiaFIRST and our team have been working on spreading STEM and conveying the message of FIRST!

To recap...

Things you can bring into the Siegel Center: knives, scissors, drills, powered saws

Things you can't bring into the Siegel Center: Bottled water, Sugar Shack Donuts (located on the opposite corner of Lombardy and Leigh as Maggie Walker, just a few blocks away. They're awesome)

Oh, don't get me started on the bag checkers. Last year they made me throw away an EMPTY bottle on Saturday morning, even though I had purchased the bottle full of water inside the day before.

If there was one thing I would change it would be the stupid bag checks.
