Teams and Volunteers,

Thank you for helping us test the Remote Hub this past weekend. We appreciate all of the feedback you provided and the effort FIRST put into developing it. However, during our test, we found too many issues with the Remote Hub to make it usable for tournaments of our scale. We have decided to utilize our “Plan B” instead of having teams and volunteers use the Remote Hub. 

Plan B is to handle all uploads, including your Robot Game video and any materials for judging, through Dropbox. Each Team will receive a unique link for uploading; no Dropbox account is required. If you have already submitted any official Robot Game videos or judging materials to the remote hub, please re-upload them to Dropbox when you receive the link. You do NOT need to re-upload your roster or Judging Info sheet if you already provided it. Judging Sessions will still be handled through Zoom. We will send your team-specific time slot via email instead of through the Remote Hub.

Based on the Practice Round videos you’ve submitted and conversations with our Judges, we also have a few helpful tools:

We appreciate your flexibility in an already strange season. Our goal is to make sure these remote competitions go smoothly and that our teams and volunteers have an enjoyable experience. If you have any questions, please email us at help-desk@ortop.org or reach out to us via our Discord Server.
