Email Blast May 3 2013 MSHSL/FIRST State Championship event info

May 3, 2013

Team Leaders, congratulations on qualifying for the MSHSL/FIRST State Championship.  Here are a few details to help with your planning.

1) Between your last FIRST event and the MSHSL championship, you are allowed to work on your robot for a total of 8 hours with a 2-hour minimum per work session.  You must bag your robot between work sessions.  Using normal zip ties to secure your bag is OK but you must log your activity (including outreach).  The robot must come to the event in its bag and be accompanied by the lock-up log.

Team Leaders, 

All the MN regional competition venues (the DECC, Williams Arena, and Mariucci Arena) have vendor contracts that prohibit the public from bringing their own food and drinks to an event held in those buildings.  Violation of this policy is our number one headache at the Minnesota regional competitions.  This rule applies to teams and spectators.  Your cooperation in getting this message out to your team and all the spectators is greatly appreciated.
