We recommend taking the structure to the competition fully or almost fully assembled, but this is up to the discretion of the teams.  Some teams will send their structure in easily assemblable modules that can be quickly constructed before the start of the competition while most teams will ship the structure in its final state.  Please be aware that all structures must be completely assembled and in their final state by 6pm on Monday of competition week (this timing is tentative but will likely not change significantly).  Therefore, teams who do not ship their structure fully assembled will need to finish constructing it by that time.  Some additional shipping information will be sent in the second mailer.
