It is a separate judging area. You will have three rooms to go to during the tournament-
the presentation/research judging,
the robot design judging,
and the core values/ teamwork judging.
The robot game is run in the open and everyone watches it. The other judging areas have only 2 coaches and 1 historian that can enter the closed room with the kids. You can't say anything or help the kids in any way, so don't bring parents who feel they "need" to help.
Core values judging is the spontaneous part of the tournament.

Subject: Re: [VADCFLL-L] Core Values
Are the Core Values something we include in our presentation or is this
something the team will be quizzed on? Thanks for any clarification on
this.
I
actually think you kind of can practice for it in that you can prepare for it.
You can read the FLL Core Values with your team and discuss it. Write each one
on a piece of paper and put them in a basket and let them take turns drawing
one out, read it aloud, and say what they think it means.
You can get
books with fun teamwork activities (check your library or just google them)
and do one at the beginning of each practice or when you take a break.
Talk with the kids about how this experience has been, working on a
team, how do they make decisions, etc.
Read the Core Values rubric
yourself on the FLL website and know what this whole program is intending to
impart.
Good luck!

Don’t worry about
it – they can’t plan for it or practice for it. They’ll be given something to
do.

What do the kids do during the core values part of the
competition?

Another
question that comes up frequently! As per the rules you can bring
multiple robots to the tournament but you can only bring one to the
competition table for each round. You cannot swap additional
robot bricks, motors or sensors during a single
round.

Can we only use
one robot in the tournament?
Can we interchange
two robots?
