14.4   Load-In

Events set specific time frames, published on the event’s schedule, in which teams are invited to load their ROBOT and equipment into their pit areas before pits officially open.

Load-In can be stressful for teams and volunteers, which can be mitigated by preparation and planning. Unanticipated factors, like traffic or weather, can change a team’s scheduled arrival time, making the process difficult. The most important things a team should remember are to be safe, gracious, and professional. Teams who experience smooth and easy Load-Ins are encouraged to check with others to see if they can help and make their experience as positive as possible.
