**FIRST EMAIL**/Robot Shipping Information
 

Greetings Shipping Contacts:

We hope you all had a happy and safe New Year's celebration. With Kickoff and the build season just around the corner, we want to remind you it is not too early to start thinking about shipping your robot.

Robot Ship Date: February 20, 2007

To start, we want to guide you to the "Robot Shipping" page on our web site, located at http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc/content.aspx?id=3570

This page is designed to provide you with easy to read, progressive documents to help navigate the shipping process more easily. Whether you are a new or returning Shipping Contact, you will want to read these documents. On this page you will find:

• "Shipping your Robot - Important Guidelines"
• "Ready to Ship - How to Ship from My Location" - coming mid-January.
• "FedEx Online Shipping" - coming mid-January. Will provide FedEx online system access information and instructions for preparing on-line airbills.

Please note complete 2007 FRC Shipping information is contained in the 2007 FRC Manual, Section 4, "Robot Transportation" located at http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc/content.aspx?id=452 The "Robot Shipping" page documents are meant to supplement the manual, and not to be read in lieu of the manual. So, please read Section 4 thoroughly.

As always, if you have any questions please contact us at frcteams@usfirst.org. We are ready to help make your shipping experience go as smoothly as possible.

Go Teams!
