- The orange and blue plastic pieces that were handed out (be
sure you have them) are for identifying your team during the contest.
Please plan to write you team number on the cards and velcro them to
the top of your machines. At the start of each round, each team is
assigned a "side" with a corresponding color. Attach the appropriate
color to your machine and proceed with the set-up.
- The Alumni association hosts a post contest reception every
year starting at about 4pm on contest day at the Alumni House. All ME72
students and their families are invited to attend. Please bring your
machine with you so they can display them at the entryway. It is common
for "old" students and representatives from our corporate sponsors to
attend, and is a nice way to unwind after the contest.
