Michelle,
I think the coaches manual has a sample schedule for the tournament day. (I remember a very handy checklist for what to bring.)
You will have 1 practice and 3 competition matches at the tournament tables. (Most tournaments also have a few practice tables and allow teams to sign up for times.)
There will also be a robot design interview, a project interview, and a teamwork interview of 5 minutes each. Each interview and match is at a specific time and your team needs to be lined up and ready when it is their time. It's a very active day. I usually ask for one parent to stay with our stuff (laptop, coats, etc) in the pit area, one to be in charge of our schedule, and one to take photos and videos.

Hello all-I am a rookie coach of the RoboSaints and was curious was to how many 2.5 minute matches we compete in on the day of the competition? Are we trying to complete as many missions as we can in one 2.5 minute time period? We have a young team so we have set our goals to hopefully completing 3 to 4 missions successfully. I am just trying to get an idea of how long the tournament day will be because if we all just have 2.5 minutes it seems like it will go pretty quickly...I guess I am trying to visualize the competition day since I am a newbie!
Thanks for any input!
