  • FRC Championship Event page
  • FIRST Championship web site
  • FRC Blog
  • Team e-mail blasts
  • FIRST social media accounts
  • Documents in the team registration packet
  • Pit Admin announcements
  • Explanations from volunteers
It seemed that most (but certainly not all) of the information was out there somewhere, but it was in so many places (and in some cases made available so last-minute) that most teams couldn't keep up with them all, and some teams don't even know everywhere to look.

^THIS^


Even as a veteran of FRC, the shear amount of communications/announcements, to-do list items, and media to follow were astronomical. To keep up with all that, on top of running a team and building a robot was daunting for a first year coach...
