Pre-event Schedule

Here's our schedule for the days leading up to the event. Assume that "Saturday" is the day of the event (or the first day of the event, assuming a 2-day event).

• Thursday:
  • 9 pm: Builders Meeting on YouTube. Check your email or Discord for the link. If you're not signed up for our mailing list, we highly recommend you do so!
• Friday:
  • 12 pm: Doors open for competitors. Competitors may select and set up pit tables, use our facilities, and start working on their bots.
  • 5 pm: Safety opens.
  • 10 pm: The facility closes to competitors, including safety. All competitors must leave.
• Saturday:
  • 8 am: Doors open for competitors. Safety opens. Photo booths open. Please remember to take a photo of your bot at the photo booth with our equipment!
  • 9:30 am: Safety closes. Builders can begin queueing for fights. (Note that we may keep safety open longer, as we did for April. But we will not make that decision until later. For now, assume that safety will close at 9:30.)
  • 10:00 am: Fighting begins!

All bots must pass safety by 9:30 am on Saturday, regardless of when their first scheduled or actual fight is. If you need a safety inspection after 9:30 am, it is up to us to grant it. We cannot guarantee that. If you get in line for safety at 9:25 am and the line is long, you are risking forfeiting at least your first match. If you fail safety at 9:29 am, we cannot guarantee that you will get a follow-up inspection; you are risking not fighting at all.
