Saturday 26 October 7 AM - 5 PM at Auraria Event Center

Event Volunteers -  We have ~100 volunteers signed up to support the pit, game competition, volunteers, and school teams. All work is at Denver THOMAS JEFFERSON High School (3950 S Holly St near I-25 and HAMPDEN AVE ) on 19 October or Auraria Event Center (1255 10th Street Mall on Auraria Campus) on 26 October. 
 

For a summary of Event Volunteer positions (Registration, Referee, Hospitality, Robot Compliance, Pit Monitors, Staging Crew, Nurse, Scorekeepers, Runners, Photographers, Videographers), our Event Volunteer listing provides a high level description and training material.

Over the next two Saturdays, 26 Teams will compete with the 2013 GATEKEEPER game...

Squeaky, the original BEST robot needs upgrades to become Squeaky 2.0. All upgrades have been complete, but one component is missing: the BEST CPU. We need our teams' help in building the newest and fastest CPU on the market.

All volunteers are encouraged to check out the 5 minute YouTube Gatekeeper Animation for an overview of the game. 

Additional training recommendations are on the Event Volunteer Page on the RM BEST Website. Here are a few of the training documents on this web page:  the BEST Generic Game Rules, BEST 2013 Gatekeeper Game Specific Rules, and the excellent Gatekeeper Education Document .
