DISCLAIMER:

These photographs of our prototypes are for illustrative purposes only to assist teams in constructing their own layouts for testing. Remember, we are working with cardboard and lumber.  Precision is within the limits of reasonable craftsmanship.  The contest description is the official document describing the construction of the contest.

Note that the barcodes depicted on these packages are not in the format that will actually be used in the contest, but are affixed in the same locations as the real barcode labels. Each team that submits its contact information will be provided with a set of actual barcode labels. The barcodes will also be posted to this website.
