I believe the poster is optional and we never really followed a guideline
for the same.
Please see Scott's email from 2018 with some pointers. Hope this helps
everyone on the forum!!
*Team Information Sheet*
Each team should bring four copies of a complete team information sheet to
their tournament. You will provide one copy to registration and a copy to
the Core Values, Project and Robot Design judging rooms. FYI, completing
the team information sheet is a great core values activity.
*Rubrics*
A rubric is used to evaluate teams in Core Values, Project and Robot Design
judging sessions. Visit the FIRST Website rubrics page to download the
rubrics
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.firstinspires.org_resource-2Dlibrary_fll_judging-2Drubrics&d=DwMFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=k6Oa5GxfBPFMgGjb2r5QIoEOeBZs9xbNIpA0kLw_kFQ&m=KXfrKgwBvHiQ_rLH3wYXmKyjlWvh_xR4ZrAgj17z3SA&s=CD8KOp2XVskcOoC79bkQq8QgEj4DAh-kToYa8MjX0fY&e=>.
It is IMPORTANT for each team to understand the rubrics.
*Engineering Notebook, Core Values Poster and Robot Executive Design
Summary (OPTIONAL)*
For VA/DC the “new” Engineering Notebook, Core Values Poster and Robot
Executive Design Summary outlined in the challenge guide are optional this
year. We highly encourage teams to have them, but with our short season,
they are optional. That may change next year.
*Who is allowed in the judging sessions?*
All team members participating in the tournament must be in all judging
sessions. If you have a team member who is sick or out-of-town and is not
competing in the tournament, that’s ok. If a few team members want to skip
a judging session to work on the robot, that’s not ok and will make the
team ineligible for awards.
You are allowed three non-members for each judging session (coaches,
mentors, or historian). You also do not have to send any non-team members
into judging sessions. Non-team members will be instructed to sit or stand
in the back of the room and cannot interact with the team. Your historian
can take photos or video. We just ask they keep a distance from the judge's
table and team.
*Judging Sessions*
Each team will be allocated 10 minutes for each judging session (Core
Value, Project and Robot Design). The time will start when the door shuts.
*Core Values*
The team will be given a 2 to 3-minute activity/challenge to evaluate their
teamwork. For example, using the materials provided, build a ______. After
the team activity, the judges will conduct a Q&A around FIRST core values
and the Core Values Rubric. The team should be familiar with FIRST Core
Values and the term Gracious Professionalism. A Core Values poster is
optional but recommended.
*Project Judging *
Each team is allocated 5 minutes to present their project. The youth must
do all set up. The presentation must be live, no recordings. Do not expect
any power or audio/visual support. The presentation should highlight the
problem identified and the areas of the rubric: Research, Innovative
Solution and Presentation. The presentation should be engaging and
imaginative – skits, songs, puppet shows, etc. A Q&A session will follow
the 5-minute presentation.
*Robot Design*
Teams should bring their robot, attachments, and examples of programs. The
robot should be ready to run before entering the judging session. The team
will be asked to run some mission. The team should be prepared to cover the
topics on the Robot Design Rubric – Mechanical Design, Programming, and
Strategy & Innovation. Robot Executive Design Summary and the Engineer
Notebook are optional but encouraged.
*As a coach or parent, can I volunteer at a tournament?*
Yes, we encourage coaches and parents to volunteer at tournaments where
there is no conflict of interest. As an experienced coach, volunteering was
the best training I received and would encourage every coach to volunteer.

*At my tournament, how many teams will advance to the VA/DC Championship at
JMU?*
The number of advancements for each tournament will be shared at the
Coach’s Meeting the morning of the tournament.
