Greetings Teams:

TIMS Now Open: Our Team Information Management System (TIMS) opened today, September 8th at 12:00 p.m. EST. Teams are now able to login and update their Team Profile, and may access the Judges’ Information Section. You may login to TIMS here: https://my.usfirst.org/frc/tims/site.lasso.

Return of Weekly Email Blasts: We are now returning to a weekly email blast schedule in an effort to keep you well-informed on the latest FRC news. Be sure to check your inbox each Thursday for the FRC email blast, and don’t forget that we always post email blasts to the FRC Season News and Email Blasts page: http://tinyurl.com/3bjls3m. You can even subscribe to an RSS feed to receive alerts when this page is updated!

Senior Mentor Call TONIGHT @ 7 p.m. EST: Join Senior Mentor, Kathie Kentfield; and Frank Merrick, FRC Deputy Director for the Senior Mentor call taking place tonight, Thursday, 9/8 at 7 pm EST. You may find details and an outline of the call here: http://tinyurl.com/3h94c24.

Are you a "Taker-Aparter"? Do you have a knack for dissembling and rebuilding things? For example, we’ve heard of a person taking apart an old computer monitor and turning it into a functioning fish tank!

FIRST® wants to know: What have you taken apart and rebuilt? Know of any cool things to make with an old cell phone? How ‘bout a VCR or a remote control car? Your submissions may be featured in the FIRST Newsletter or in other capacities in the coming months.

Join the conversation! Share your stories with us by Wednesday, September 14th. Please include a photo of your cool creation, and if you have a team photo, send that along, too!

**Please pass this along to all of your student team members!**

Go Teams!
