DCI is in the heart of DC, which is very convenient, but it also means we have limited parking. Much of our parking will be reserved for our volunteers who will arrive at 6am and stay until well after the tournament ends. Here’s how to drive to DCI. Check out our event page for maps detailing all of this information visually
Teams should drop their carts and robots off at the 1400 Main Dr. entrance, accessible from either 16th st or Georgia Avenue. This will allow you to enter the building on the same floor as the gym and not have to take carts or robots up stairs.
Teams should leave ALL FOOD in the cafeteria. There will be no food whatsoever in the competition space, to spare our volunteers the work of cleaning hundreds of snack wrappers up from our carpet.
After drop off, teams can go around to the 14th st parking lot to find parking. If that lot is full, there is street parking available on all the streets around the school and it is unrestricted on weekends.

After loading in, or for any team members not carrying bulky objects or robots, you should enter via the 14th street parking lot, or in the neighborhood nearby if the lot is full. Walk across the small basketball court and the small soccer field and you'll see the entrance to the building under an awning.
