The area was first settled in 1681, in the vicinity of Bound Brook, and the county was established by charter on May 22, 1688. Most of the early residents were Dutch. General George Washington and his troops marched through the county on several occasions and slept in many of the homes located throughout the area. Somerset County also played an important part during both World War I and World War II with weapons depots and the manufacturing of the army's woolen blankets. For much of its history, Somerset County was primarily an agricultural county. In the late 19th century, the Somerset Hills area of Somerset County became a popular country home for wealthy industrialists. The Montgomery District Event Planning Committee welcomes all teams, mentors, parents, distinguished guests, sponsors and spectators. Good luck to all our participating teams, from near and far! Please use this guide as a reference for our competition; it is full of helpful and useful information that will assist your team as you plan for this event.

Mid-Atlantic Robotics – Montgomery District Event Page 4 of 25 3. EVENT INFORMATION 3.1 Consent Forms FIRST Consent and Release Forms have several goals in mind: 1. Simplification via a unified form; 2. Collecting participant data to make it possible to conduct more effective outreach and marketing to alumni; 3. Give FIRST the capacity to conduct regular follow-up studies of its participants in order to better demonstrate impact. This information is critical to FIRST because it will provide a roadmap for the organization, guide program implementation and management, and communicate more confidently the impact to schools, sponsors and other groups. In order for FIRST to quantitatively state that our programs are positively impacting participating students, corporations, schools and communities we need to collect information on the individual level. The Consent Forms are the only place where FIRST collects that type of information. The goal of the FIRST Consent Forms is to ensure the following: To get consent and release of liabilities due to harm and/or injury for FIRST and FIRST’s ―Cooperating Entities‖. To grant FIRST the right to use participant’s likeness during the participation in FIRST events. To ensure that agents of FIRST and on behalf of FIRST can collect and analyze information for us. To grant FIRST the right to contact the Parent/Guardian and participants at a later time for evaluation and/or announce other benefits like alumni outreach efforts. Because we are dealing with youth and youth information, FIRST must be in compliance with the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (under the age 13). TW O Consent Forms are re qui red for registration at this event Required Forms: (one for each person) Team Roster or a completed 2016 FIRST Consent and Release forms Mid-Atlantic Robotics Consent & Release for each attending team member & mentor http://www.midatlanticrobotics.com/downloads/consent-release-forms/ For both Consent Forms - please do the following: Team number on each of the documents. Make copies of each form for your records Make sure each person under 18 has a parent/legal guardian sign each form. Separate the FIRST forms & Mid-Atlantic Robotics forms into two piles, staple the piles. Bring both sets to the event registration table. Mid-Atlantic Robotics – Montgomery District Event Page 5 of 25 3.2 Event Rules Please read the following restrictions and adhere to them in order to promote an orderly and exciting competition. As a group, we all should honor agreements with MAR and help promote the spirit of good partnership. Do not remove any FIRST or Team number signs. This is stealing! Signs are needed for multiple events. Do not bring food into the gyms. Do not sell any products. This includes food, hats, shirts, or any promotional products. Do not give out any free food products, such as candy, water, soft drinks, or fruit. You may trade team pins, however. Stickers or Decals are NOT allowed to be distributed as they are often left behind in (and on) the venue. Do not sell raffle tickets or any games of chance. Do not use extremely noisy devices, including (but not limited to) floor stompers, whistles, or air horns. Do not invite or bring live bands to play in the audience. This dilutes the presentation on the playing field and is too
