RCSAI Lego Competition 2019
Information Sheet
All contestants are to bring their own LEGO® blocks.
Only LEGO® bricks and other compatible plastic blocks and accessory pieces may be used.
TEAMS ARE NOT TO REBUILD A PREMADE LEGO KIT!!!!!!
LEGO® Structure: Each LEGO® structure must be built from scratch during this competition. All blocks must be completely disassembled at the time the tournament begins. Blueprints, building guides, or “cheat sheets” are not permitted. LEGOs may be separated out in baggies by color and/or size (but must be completely disassembled). The purpose of this competition is to create an original, creative LEGO® structure that tells a story. We ask that children refrain from “memorizing” and rebuilding a purchased kit.
The use of kit pieces to create a unique structure is permitted.

Total Build Time: This is a timed competition with a total of 1.5 hours to build.
Good Manners: Please exhibit good sportsmanship and respect your opponents. Demonstrate grace and tolerance when working with others. Please do not touch or tamper with other Team’s LEGOs or LEGO® creations.
Scoring: The judges’ scores will be based on originality, creativity, engineering, construction, attention to detail, and the project description.
Judge's’ Decision: The judges’ decisions are final.
