2. Bring the Physical Model Identification Index Card with you to the Regional Competition and place it next to your team’s model.

6. Models may sustain damage in transit. Teams are encouraged to bring repair kits (containing tape, glue, etc.) to reattach or fix any broken part. The model needs to be sturdy and substantial enough for staff to move during the course of the competition without incurring damage. NOTE: There can be no structural changes made during or after the Regional Competition.
