- These challenges are intended to be fun STEM activities for teams to work on. While teams are eager to compete hard, please remember that safety is the top priority. Teams must follow all local public health guidelines, especially with respect to masks and physical distancing. No exceptions. This is not an area where you should be bending or breaking any rules. If your team can’t find a way to participate in some of these challenges because of the local public health guidelines, that’s okay! There are still lots of challenges that can be worked on virtually! This is specifically why we created so many options. Remember, as FIRST teams we always want to display role model behaviour!”
- Consider having individuals each film a short segment of an entry, then work together virtually to edit them all into one video. This way you can stay safe and distanced while still participating!”
- Consider working outdoors when possible to increase ventilation

- Humans should never contact a robot while the robot is being operated!
