NELA Engage Elem/MS Blended Tournament

1. Review the rules and run through the inspection checklist about a week before the competition so that there is ample time for adjustments.

2. Check the official RECF forums for rule updates and changes.

3. Carefully read all of the information contained in the tournament posting on recfevents.org.

4. Pack for the event the day before the day of departure. Here are a few items that you don't want to forget.

Goggles/Safety Glasses
Spare parts & tools
Batteries and chargers
Programming cable

Laptop computer
Engineering notebook (if you have one, helpful for Awards )
Banners and other decorations for your team pit
Giveaways if you have them

5. Remember that safety comes first, please don't bring tools that pose a safety risk to your team, or others nearby as the venue is a very tight fit.
