Judging Pod*
Core Values
The Core Values should be the lens through which you watch the team’s presentations. All team members should demonstrate the Core Values in everything they do. This rubric should be used to record the Core Values observed thoughout the judging session. Core Values will also be evaluated at each Robot Game with Gracious Professionalism® scores, which will feed into a team’s overall Core Values rank.
Rising All Star
Select "Yes" if you believe this team is a team that the judges notice and expect great things from in the future.
