With team registration exceeding our anticipated goal of 12,600 teams, FLL Operational Partners are working to ensure teams have the opportunity to attend an official FLL event in the region. Operational Partners are working with event locations and organizers to coordinate and confirm details for these additional events in their regions and we ask all teams for their patience and understanding if it takes a bit of time to get these details to teams.

To Random Robotic Kuchipatchiz (1744): FLL – Challenge Mat/ Pass It On/ Forums?

Posted by Hiro on August 7, 2012 at 7:25 PM Comments comments (0)

Coaches:

-->Challenge Mat

As mentioned in a previous blast the Field Setup Kit is being shipped in one square box this year with the challenge mat folded. You will be required to unfold the mat and lay it flat to allow the material to relax along the fold lines. Hand smoothing occasionally is also required. It may take 2-3 days for wrinkles and creases to relax. If the folded creases are particularly stubborn, applying low heat to the BACK of the mat with a hair dryer while moving it along the fold lines for ~ one minute will help as well. Although it should not be necessary, taking an iron to the BACK of the mat will help. DO NOT apply heat to the printed side of the mat with an iron or hairdryer. Also, rolling the mat around a cardboard or plastic tube may also help alleviate any folds, wrinkles, or creases. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

--> Pass it on
