In addition to the items on Professor Drake's list, I suggest:
- Robot, its attachments and the Apprenticeship model all in one small box. This is the only thing you take to/from the robot matches. 
- USB cable
- USB memory stick with backup copies of the kids' programs and presentation (if using PowerPoint) 
- Power strip
- Extension cord
- Duct tape for taping down extension cord
- Lego pieces for any last minute repairs/improvements 
- 27 gallon heavy duty tote ($12 at Home Depot) for carrying everything to/from your car

Has anyone taken the time to put together a list of all the things that should be taken to competition? This is our first year and I've made a list but it feels so overwhelming, I'm terrified I will forget something vital.

Thanks.

One loop in base + any loops you can gather from the field.  Gathering some could cause you to lose full points on other missions (like removing more than 1 hoop from Search Engine).

We are a rookie team working towards the project based learning model.  Do we
have to get all the loops from the table or does the team start with some in the
base?  I couldn't find this information in the challenge manual, but I saw on a
you tube video that one team had 3 loops to start with.

Thanks for your help!
