Before fights competitors bring their completed entries to the green room. They wait here till their match is called. Competitors can only bring the entries they wish to fight in their fighting state. You cannot modify your robot once you bring it to the green room. Basic tools to turn on and off the robot are allowed. Refreshments are available for bot builders in the green room.
