Bag and Tag

Are District and Regional Events in the same category. Can you have 6 hours the week before the event to unbag and work on the robot?:smiley:

No, they are not the same. The 6 hours only applies if you are in a district system, which Florida is not.

The current districts are:

  • *FIRST *
    Chesapeake (Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C.) - Indiana
  • Michigan
  • *FIRST *
    Mid-Atlantic (Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania east of Harrisburg) - New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont)
  • North Carolina
  • Pacific Northwest (Alaska, Oregon, Washington)
  • Peachtree (Georgia)

See section 5.5 of the admin manual. It specifies that the following events have “Robot Access Periods” in the week leading up to their event:

Two-day district events for the 2016 season include:
FIRST Chesapeake District (DC, MD, VA)
FIRST in Michigan District (MI)
■ Indiana FIRST District (IN)
■ Mid-Atlantic Robotics District (DE, NJ, Eastern PA)
■ New England FIRST District (CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, VT)
■ North Carolina District (NC)
■ Pacific Northwest District (AK, OR, WA)
■ Peachtree District (GA)

This does NOT include any regionals.

Talking about the “Robot Access Period” before a regional event

And we’re telling you there is no such thing prior to a regional event, only a district event. Please read section 5.5 of the admin manual, it explains this in much more detail.

Robot Lockup Form

Does anyone have a BoM like or knows where to find it? We never can find where to get the BoM

Thanks

Here’s a link to the BoM template found on the FIRST website under Game Manual Section 4

At regionals, you have Thursday to work on the robot. At districts, you have the access periods to make up the slack.
