Challenge Section A.4.c.i states that Products assembled during the Presentation must contain the same number of Parts and match the design of the sample Products provided in the Prep Area to qualify for score. Color and print are not components of this design. Product colors and/or print (i.e. plaid, polka dot) may vary from the sample Products provided in the Prep Area.

Challenge Section C.2 should read: Site size: The minimum required size of the Presentation Site is 20ft x 20ft (6.10m x 6.10m), but the teams may use any additional space that Tournament officials designate as available. The solid lines shown in the site diagram will be taped but the dashed line around the 20ft x 20ft site will not be taped.

Challenge Section A.2 states: Equipment: The team will design and build mobile Equipment that will pick up Parts from the Parts Depot and transport Parts to the Assembly Area. The Equipment will also be used to transport Products from the Assembly Area to the Delivery Area. (See the diagram in Section C.) Equipment will be scored for the innovation and design of the Propulsion System, the Energy Source and the Equipment Loading/Unloading Device(s).

So that there is no confusion: Transport means that the Equipment must move the Parts the complete distance from the Parts Depot defined by the 4ft x 6ft (1.22m x 1.83m) taped area to the Assembly Area defined by the 4ft x 8ft (1.22m x 2.44m) taped area and must move the Products the complete distance from the Assembly Area to the Delivery Zone defined by the 6ft x 6ft (1.83m x 1.83m) taped area.
