Subject: **FIRST EMAIL**/Senior Mentor Call Tonight/Policy Regarding Team Contact Changes/FRC Award Survey


Greetings Teams:

FRC Mentor Orientation 101- Senior Mentor Call TONIGHT @ 7 p.m. EST: Join Senior Mentors Mike Henry and Mike Siegel for the Senior Mentor call taking place tonight, Thursday, 9/22 at 7 pm EST. You may find details and an outline of the call here: http://tinyurl.com/3h94c24.

Clarification of Policy for Changing Team Contacts in TIMS: Main and Alternate Contacts may invite a replacement in TIMS within the "Team Contacts" field. Please do not email FIRST requesting that we change the contacts for you—we do not touch teams’ personal information unless there are special circumstances.

If your main contact has switched schools, moved, or otherwise cannot be reached, you must contact your Regional Director and request that they authorize FIRST to manually make a team contact change. You can search for your Regional Director here: http://www.usfirst.org/regionalcontact.aspx .

FRC Award Structure Survey: We are looking for your input regarding the existing FRC award structure. Please encourage everyone you know in FRC to complete this survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VQVBPH2) by Wednesday, September 28th at 12 p.m. EST.

Go Teams!

I was going to write a blog about how some of the awards in FRC are kinda unnecessary, or simply the same award but with slightly different wording to the specifics of what they judge. I wonder if FIRST is going to axe an award or two.

Also...

Does your team try to win the regional finalist award? "Not at all"
Does your team try to win the regional champion award? "Very much"

haha. I know what they mean, but yea...

Please link the blog when you write it, I would be interested in your opinions.
