***Absolutely NO Cameras or Video Equipment allowed in the competition area
Because of the distinct possibility of Infrared Interference, NO cameras or video equipment are allowed in the competition area. However, video cameras will be allowed in the Presentation Judging Rooms this year to give coaches a chance to tape their presentations for future use.
Competition Area Guidelines
Teams will be queued to the “In The Hole area 8-10 minutes before their play begins. You will then move to the “On Deck” waiting area and finally the “At Bat” area. It is important that the team members stay together in route to the competition area. Only team members and coach(s) can stand in the Competition Area. When it is your turn for competition play, the team members and the coach(s) may proceed to the “At Bat” area. IMPORTANT! No adults can approach the competition table AT ANY TIME right before, during, or after the competition play. Only two team members at a time are allowed to be on the playing field by the table while the robot is running. The rest of the team and the coach(s) must remain in the “At Bat” area to cheer on their team.
WARNING: Interference
- RCX’s– It has been reported that when downloading programs to one RCX, other RCXs in the same room can occasionally be impacted even if they are several feet away. To prevent this it is advised to keep RCXs turned off unless they are competing or being downloaded with a program. It is also advised that everyone should set the computer software and the IR tower to the “short range” option. Finally we recommend that teams bring a cover, such as a shoe box, to help protect it from this type of interference
- NXT’s– There are no guarantees that you won’t encounter ultrasonic interference from other sources, including other robots with the use of the ultra sonic sensor. Thus, there is an implicit risk involved. In future years, we may see this tightened up or removed entirely. If both robots at the table are using ultra sonics, we do not know how many problems they may encounter.
