Two practice tracks will be available in the practice room and must be shared by all teams. Each practice track is constructed similarly to the competition track and allows one to switch the states of the receptacles manually. The practice room is adjacent to the competition room. The competition track will not be available for use other than for official competition. Each team is fully responsible for its own materials at all times.
Preliminary inspections are optional.
A vehicle's passing of a preliminary inspection does not guarantee that it will pass final inspections prior to competition. Attendance at this meeting is optional, but highly recommended. The pairings for the first preliminary round will be announced at this meeting. After the conclusion of this meeting, the first preliminary round will commence. A vehicle will not be eligible to compete until it has passed the official inspection.
