During judging, teams take part in a team interview where judges learn about the team's design process, robot, and how its members worked together throughout the season. The Team Interview Rubric is the tool judges use to evaluate teams across categories such as the engineering design process, game strategy, robot design, teamwork, and professionalism. Whether you're a judge preparing to evaluate teams or a competitor getting ready for your interview, the rubric helps everyone understand what's being assessed and how points are awarded.
The rubric is available in two versions. The standard Team Interview Rubric is the official scoring tool used by judges, with detailed criteria and point ranges for each category. The student-friendly version presents the same categories in clear, approachable language so teams can understand expectations and prepare. Download one of the PDFs below to get started.
