2) Have a stationary camera that can view the entire field, preferably looking straight down. Must be able to connect to Google Meet.
3) Have a handheld device that can also connect to Google Meet to look at any close calls when scoring.
4) Be prepared to run 3 Rounds during your scheduled time. Only the highest score stays.
5) Digital scoring will be shared with the coach and results will be available instantly.
6) During your team's scheduled time, they will have three 3 minute rounds with 3 minutes in between to reset. If they suffer damage to the robot, they will have a Maximum of 15 minutes to make repairs before they must return or forfeit that round. (This keeps the timeline fair to a LIVE event setting)
7) Remember all other RCX Rules still apply during these events like no coaching during the rounds and no sharing of robots.
