Late submissions may not be considered for notebook-based judged awards.

Team Interviews will be conducted in person during the event.

Teams should be prepared to discuss their design process, programming, problem-solving, teamwork, and overall season development with the judging team.

Please remember that judged awards are based on RECF judging guidelines and the Student-Centered Policy. Coaches and other adults should allow students to speak for themselves during interviews.
