When you are on site at the Competition, here are some of the rules we have to follow (this is also from the above link):
-Site Restrictions-
Please read the following restrictions and adhere to them in order to promote an orderly, safe, pleasant, and exciting competition. As a group, we all should honor agreements with the venue and help promote the spirit of good partnership.
Please:
1. Do not bring food on the site. If you bring food, do not bring it onto the property.
2. Do not use noisy devices, such as any type of floor stompers, whistles, or air horns.
3. Do not save seats. It is not fair to other teams or to the public guests we hope to interests team sponsors or volunteers.
4. Do not ship robots directly to the site. All shipments go through the Drayage
Company.
5. Do not arrange for Internet access on the site or bring free phone lines for same.
6. Do not sell any products. This includes food, hats, shirts, or any promotional products.
7. Do not give out any free food products, such as candy, water, soft drinks, or fruit. You may trade team pins, however.
8. Do not use helium tanks.
9. Do not bring live bands to play in the audience. This dilutes the presentation on the playing field and is too loud and confusing for the audience.
10. Do not play loud music in the Pit because it interferes with important announcements. If a team receives more than a warning or two, the power to the team’s Pit Station will be shut off and/or the music confiscated.
11. Do not run in the venue.
12. Open-toed shoes are not allowed.
