Re: Advice for Rookies at their first regional?

1. What do pit decorations or designs generally look like? There is everything, from a toolbox sitting on a table, to huge elaborate workspaces and decorations.

Are there a limit to people in them? I'm not sure if there's an official limit, but it really depends on your layout, and how you guys work. If you have room to work without bumping into each other continually, I don't think anyone will have a problem. Try to avoid having people out in the aisle, as it makes it hard for people, and robots to navigate.

2. I am assuming that almost everyteam gives out buttons or trades them for fun, do we hand them to judges as well? That's pretty much up to you, but I'd say you definitely should...anything to make you stand out more (in a good way), can't hurt your chances of winning an award. We give out inflatable axe's/tomahawk's.

3. We were thinking of creating small gifts to give to the other rookie teams for encouragement-any suggestions? As others have said, no food, other than that...try to avoid anything that will cause problems (Such as laser pointers).


Other advice:

Checklists of what to do before/after every match, and such are great ideas, as you will forget important things otherwise.

Make sure that you don't intrude into other teams space, or the aisle. It really causes problems for everyone. However, if there is extra space available thanks to pure luck, I'd say use it.
