Kit Return¶

At the competition¶

At the end of the competition (or before if the team wishes to leave early), teams are asked to return their kits to reception. The docs notes the list of items issued in the kit, most of which we expect back. At reception, the contents of the RUB should be checked to ensure it contains at least all the items on the Kit Return list. Ensure there is nothing else left in the RUB the team may want back.

The Kit Return List (example) should be used to ensure all the items are present and correct. One form should be used per team, and this form should be kept to prove the kit was returned correctly. Once completed, keep the form with its respective kit.

When fully checked, the supervisor should fill out the Kit Return Form to confirm everything is complete.

If a team has received a replacement part throughout the year, they may have an additional item. Teams with additional kit should be known in advance.

The workflow is shown in the diagram below.

Batteries¶

As we handle charging during the competition, teams will have 1 Battery. We don't want to keep those in the kits as we want to discharge them and place them with all other batteries. Please remove the battery from the kits, check it off the checklist, and place them in a container to be taken back down to the battery charging area to be storage charged.

Missing Items¶

If a kit is not complete, the Missing Kit Form should be completed noting which items of kit have not been returned.

After the competition, these forms are tabulated and the teams contacted to ensure the safe return of the items of kit.

Example email for teams with outstanding single items of kit

If the team cannot find the item of kit, a like-for-like replacement (or as close as possible) should be ordered and shipped to us.
