Tips from our AZ Head Referees after 1st qualifiers

At our first two qualifiers in Show Low and Gilbert, these are the penalties that were seen the most. Please be sure to review the game manual, Q&A, and pay special attention to the human player rules. 

1. Safety: Safety glasses, closed toe shoes, hair tied back and out of eyes, are all required in the pits and on the competition field. Running is never allowed in the competition area, pits, or stands - walk with purpose please!!
2. GS5a: Controlling more than 2 pixels. 
3. GS12h: Breaking the plane of the playing field perimeter while robot is in the wing. 
4. GS12d: Don't reposition already placed pixel's in the wing. 
5. GS5c: Moving pixel stacks off white tape. 
6. Please make sure all pixels are removed from your robot prior to leaving the field after a match.

Advancement to AZ Championship & Sample Qualifier Schedule + Checklist

 

ADVANCEMENT TO THE 2024 AZ FTC CHAMPIONSHIP

Arizona is proud to have almost 90 teams competing in FIRST Tech Challenge this season! We are planning for a large, 2-division Championship Tournament on February 16 & 17 at Brophy College Prep in Phoenix. 

At each qualifying tournament, a set number of teams will advance to the state championship based on merit at the competition. The advancement criteria is in Game Manual 1. The number of teams advancing will be one team for every five teams competing at the event (20%). For example, at a 24-team event, 5 teams will advance whereas at a 16-team event, 3 teams will advance. Advancement is based on competing teams, not registered teams. If a qualifier has teams that no-show, the advancement number will change accordingly. Please remember this as you prepare for your events...no-showing for a tournament is affects more than just your team. 

Teams that advance to the Championship will receive an email from Christine by Sunday morning following their tournament with instructions for registering for the Championship. Teams will have until 5 pm the Tuesday after the qualifier to accept their spot at the Championship, or the spot will be offered to the next eligible team. 

EXAMPLE TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE

Times are subject to change depending on the number of teams competing and the flow of match play. Please be flexible and patient with our event volunteers. 

Friday, 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Health and Safety

While we are not requiring masks at events unless CDC or Arizona guidelines and rules change, there are several things you can do to help keep all participants and volunteers healthy: 

• Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer early and often, especially when using high-contact items such as practice fields or game elements
• Stay home when feeling unwell - there are plenty of colds and flus going around in addition to COVID (sharing is not caring!)
• Mask up after having COVID - for at least 5 days after your 5-day quarantine
• Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing
• Screen the health of your students prior to leaving - if anyone on your team feels sick, ask them to stay home
• Maintain health and safety standards at home with your team to help keep everyone healthy

TIPS FROM HEAD REF RICH - VOLUME 1

Hi Teams,

We hope your pre-season planning and build is going well!  Here are a couple of tidbits of news that we want to share with you, so please take note and incorporate into your plans and game plan training.

Please download and note the new updates in the Game Manuals.  There are a couple of new rules / clarifications that could be important.

Remember that the surface in the Landing Zone may vary event to event.  This is one of those variations in the gameplay that teams can expect to deal with during the season!

In the same theme of variation in the competition areas, we may experience different “weather patterns” that may affect the Landing Zone operations, e.g. a gust of air caused by a door opening, a person passing in front of the landing zone quickly so as not to disturb sight lines of the audience, etc.

Please remember your GP throughout the tournament!  Especially with respect to the Drones.  If you rebuild your drone, put a different drone in play (except if all your drones are identical in design and makeup) or are told by a Head Referee that the Drone needs to be re-inspected, please be proactive and graciously get your drone re-inspected as soon as possible. 

Finally, this season we will be looking for all drive teams to actually press “Stop” on your drive controllers at the end of the match.  The wording in GM 2 “Parked” definition and rule <G20> do not state that you have to press the Stop button, but this is a safety practice due to the nature of the game this season with hanging robots and possible movement when removing the robots.  So, we will be reminding all teams to hit Stop at the end of the match.

We are looking forward to seeing you out there on the CENTERSTAGE and can’t wait to see what you accomplish!

Best wishes, be safe and follow the FTC Q&A and Game Manuals!

Tech Tip of the Week

Have you ever asked, “How does that get connected?” when working with FIRST® Tech Challenge control system components? This Tech Tip of the Week highlights Stefen Acepcion of FIRST® Robotics Competition Team 3161 - he has graciously compiled several connection diagrams that demonstrate different ways that common components can be connected within the FIRST Tech Challenge control system.

Driver Station connection diagrams (both Driver Hub and Android Smartphone configurations) and Robot Controller connection diagrams (both Control Hub and Android Smartphone configurations) can be found on ftc-docs. Stefen has contributed additional diagrams this season, including a new Advanced REV Control Hub connection diagram and a new Advanced Smartphone connection diagram. These diagrams are chock-full of helpful tips, connection techniques, and information you otherwise can’t find in one place - check them out!
