Request for Proposals for 2013 FRC Season Workshop Presentations: FRC will not be hosting live Kickoff Workshops at
FIRST Headquarters in Manchester, NH before Kickoff this year. Instead, we will be providing access to recorded workshops that will focus on preparing FRC Teams for the 2013 season. This will allow teams to take advantage of online workshop material before they get caught up in the build season.
We are currently seeking workshop proposals! Anyone interested in creating a recorded workshop may submit a proposal. For more information on submitting a proposal, please visit:
http://www3.usfirst.org/sites/defaul...sentations.pdf. Proposals are due by Friday, 9/21/12.
Go Teams!
