Thank you for your replies. I got mixed replies on the introductions.
It sounds like it is counted against time and a name tag may be sufficient.
However, it would help if it breaks the ice.

Steve, 

Do you count the introduction time for both Core values and Project?

I guess it matters more during Project as they have only 5 minutes to present
as soon as they walk through the door. 


Thanks,
Cedric

When I am judging, I count the time that teams introduce themselves as part of the 10 minute session.  There isn't enough spare time not to include it.

Although competition rounds with the robot are open to the public, there will likely be a limit on how many people can get close to the tables.

We viewed the fllstartingpoint video which was very helpful.
My apologies for the long list of question and  if we missed any from the video.

We're a rookie team and needed clarification on the questions below-
Core values
1. Are the kids allowed to take the poster into the room?
2. Is this a closed session?
3. How long is this session?
4. Is this 5 minutes for the Core value activity and 5 minutes for judging?
5. Should the kids introduce themselves? Will this be counted in the time allocated?
6. Are only 3 adults allowed in the room with the kids?

Project
1. Is this 5 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for judging?
2. Should the kids introduce themselves? Will this be counted in the time allocated?
3. Are only 3 adults allowed in the room with the kids?
4. I assume this is a closed session and a poster/trifold is allowed in this room.

Robot design
1. Is this a closed session?
2. Should the kids mention their roles as we have some "experts" in programming who can answer questions.
3. Should they walkthrough their binder?
4. How long is the judging of Robot design?
5. How many adults are allowed in the room with the kids?

Missions
1. Is this a closed session?
2. How long do we get at the practice table?
3. How many adults are allowed in the room with the kids?

Thank you!
Cedric
