Hello teams!!
We start the tournament season in a few short weeks and I thought it was a good time to touch base with final reminders.

- RDES (and Core Values Poster clarification)
- Coaches' Manual
Consent Forms
Please download this consent form, print for all participants and coaches attending the event and have their parent/guardians fill out and return to you before your event. Please bring the stack of consent forms in a marked envelope with your team number on the front to the event and hand it in at registration.
RDES (and Core Values Poster clarification)
The Robot Design Executive Summary (or RDES) can be downloaded here. Please download and follow the instructions in the attachment to prepare your team for their Robot Design Judging session. Basically, this is a framework for your Robot presentation which should help to guide the students' discussions with the judges.
As a coach, you also receive email from FLL HQ in the US. You may have read a message with information about a "Core Values Poster". You can ignore that comment because we are not using the optional CV Poster in Ontario.
Coaches' Manual
You should have received a Coaches' Manual with your Team Registration. If you don't have a hard copy of it you can download it here:
You should have received a Coaches' Manual with your Team Registration. If you don't have a hard copy of it you can download it here:
This is a GREAT resource for coaches and should be read cover-to-cover if you are just starting out this year or even last year. In that manual you'll see tips and tricks of running your team, a season schedule of what should be accomplished each week, and a sample tournament schedule (among other things).
Don't forget about the training calls we have scheduled. The last one available is on November 21st and is covering final preparations for your tournament. The link to register is here: https://www3.
