We are a rookie team with a couple of questions about the judging session for the innovative solution.

Can the coaches set up props before they start?  Or, should the team members set up?
Should the team ask before beginning?  What is standard?
Is it ok to do the skit and then do introductions?
Is there a standard format for the judging session?

Thank you for your help.
Dina

Yes, to clarify the previous responses:

In order to score for the Ambulance mission, there are two requirements at the end of the match

— The ambulance is in the yellow region. —  Rule 37 tells us that "In" means that any tiny bit of the Ambulance must be in the Yellow region to count ("barely "in" is considered "in")
— All the ambulance’s wheels are touching the mat.

Robot Game update 3 at http://www.firstlegoleague.org/challenge/robotgameupdates  tells us:
an object like the Ambulance "scoring in the Yellow zone" will not count as touching the Runway, and it won't ruin the team's Runway points.
