Be part of the FIRST International Day!

Team 3354 graciously invites your team to be part of the FIRST International Day, which is a brand new project with the objective of creating an international day in which teams from all over the world, present to their community, school or city the great job FIRST and your team are actually doing.
To be part of this project you only need to make sure that on the 21 of February your community will know what does FIRST is about, you can achieve this by having a stand on you school, mall or a public space, publish an online article, make a spreading STEM event or make a marketing campaign.
This is a big international project of all the FRC teams and we hope you become part of it. Be part of an international campaign and let’s make it loud!

Re: Be part of the FIRST International Day!

Why the 21st, and not some other day when teams can present their robots?

Actually you can demo your robot, provided whatever you do complies with this new rule in the administrative manual -

Quote:

5.4.3 Robot Displays
New this year! To assist teams with their promotional and community relations activities, robots may be unbagged and operated briefly after “Stop Build Day” for display purposes only.

The intent of this option is to allow teams to briefly show their robot to their community, sponsors, or potential sponsors after “Stop Build Day”.
Unbagging a robot and putting it on display for many hours at a time would not be considered a ‘brief’ display
The Robot Lock-Up Form must be used to track the unbagging and rebagging of the robot during this period. In the ‘Explanation’ column of the form, enter ‘Robot Display’
No activity that could be considered ‘work on’ or ‘practice with’ the robot is allowed
Brief displays of robot functions – driving, for example - are allowed, but not to the extent that they could be considered practice
A good way to avoid turning a robot display period in to a practice session is to have non-drive team members operate the robot, and only for as short a time as necessary to show the robot’s capabilities
If you have any questions about this new Robot Display option, please email frcteams@usfirst.org
