This was taken from an e-mail that was sent out to the teams last week:

Link is broke Jane.

I sent an email on Friday asking HQ to update the page for 2012 and to link the application to the page. Maybe they are working on it?

Where's my hammer? I need a bigger hammer.

(Thanks for your help with reminders, Jenny.)

When you go back to the post that was linked at the beginning of JY's first post, that link works.
Here it is.
I think the problem was the ellipses got transferred in the link rather than the site itself.

I think I repaired the damage I incurred. Thanks, Mike!

Hi Jane,
thanks for the link.
We will be submitting our proposal some time soon.

You are welcome, Glenn.

I've had several people asking for information and I was happy to see the e-mail. It looks like they've updated the website, too - so that's very good news.

Glad I checked this today. Didn't realize they were due!!

Re: 2012 FIRST Robotics Conference - Call For Proposals
 

Looks like they are still accepting proposals. Bill's Blog made a comment stating that they are.

The link for submitting is included in the comment and here it is again. :)

Hi Jane!
I was wondering if there was supposed to be some sort of confirmation email after submitting an abstract proposal? I was just curious!

Thanks!

Nica,

The process takes a while. I'll see if I can find a contact person for you to e-mail your questions to.

I've been on the selection committee for the past few years and I know it takes a while. I also know that it can be very frustrating to the folks who have submitted abstracts and are waiting to hear something. Be back as soon as I can.

Re: 2012 FIRST Robotics Conference - Call For Proposals
 

No problem Jane! I just submitted it in the middle of doing other things and wasn't sure if it was received!

Thanks!

Re: 2012 FIRST Robotics Conference - Call For Proposals
 

Here's the correct e-mail address to send your inquiries to:

firstplace@usfirst[dot]org

Let me know if you have any problems.

Has anyone heard back that their submission was received? Or when the agenda/schedule will go out to the presenters, if accepted? I will send an email.
