As long as FIRST gives us an option to do paper copies of these forms, we'll be forgoing their online system.

Our team, for the most part, does it this way as well. With fewer than 20 students (hopefully to change this year), it's not quite so burdensome to keep a log of which forms were completed by which student on which date. Since half of our forms must be filled out in a paper format, it just makes sense for everything to be paper.
Of course, we email the students and parents a bulk PDF with all of the forms in it about once per week during build season. This is (of course) a blatantly transparent attempt to get them to use their paper rather than mine
