FAQ

Q: How many machines can we work on?

Q: Do we all have to work on site?

A: Not all of you do. However, at least two members of your team need to be onsite and working between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm on Friday for your team to stay qualified.


Q: What technologies can we use?

A: There is no restriction on technology, as long as everything created is original (created by the team members).
