Is your team getting ready for their first tournament? Not sure what extras you should bring? We’ve got you covered!

Here are some suggestions we’ve heard from veteran coaches:

• Bring snacks! It’s helpful to stay fueled during a long and exciting day.
• It’s a good idea to bring a toolbox filled with extra LEGO elements for your robot.
• Bring a battery pack for an extra power source.
• Use a cart to keep organized! We’ve seen teams use a 3-tier craft rolling cart to stay organized and transport materials.
