As a reminder, your team should have received a separate email that included badging and hotel reservation options. We encourage pre-badging for all attendees at the FIRST^® Tech Challenge World Championship Houston. (submitting their names in our badging/hotel reservation portal). Note, all attendees are required to have a badge.

 

This communication included important trip planning details:

 

• Transportation Within the City
• Robot Transportation
• Packing List

 

As a reminder, transportation is not provided by FIRST^®. Teams should coordinate their travel plans in the city before arriving. This may include renting a car, or navigating the local public transportation. Should you choose to drive, please expect to pay for parking each day near each venue, and remember that it is on a first-come first-served basis. Many hotels have an additional fee for parking overnight.

 

When traveling, make sure to appropriately pack your robot to help prevent any unnecessary damage en route. When traveling, remove the battery, wheels, and any extension arms that can be detached. Make sure to pack phones and batteries in either bubble wrap or extra packing material to prevent damage. Tie down wires and/or remove them and pack them separately.

 

When traveling by plane, please make sure to bring your Robot Transport Letter
