Greetings Teams:
With Week One of the 2010 FRC Competition Season behind us, we still have plenty more exciting Competition Events and the 2010 Championship Event ahead of us! All of the Week One Events went incredibly well—we trust all participants and spectators had a great experience. To all of you who are awaiting your Competition(s) in the coming weeks:
good luck and have fun!
Taking into account the feedback we received from the Week One Events, we have a few friendly reminders for you to be aware of throughout this Competition Season:
- Don’t forget your Safety Glasses! As most of you know, everyone is required to wear Safety Glasses at all times in the Pit area. When you are packing up to go to your Event(s), please remember to pack Safety Glasses for every Student and Mentor who will be in the Pit area. FIRST has only a limited supply of extra Safety Glasses on hand, so we appreciate your efforts to supply enough Safety Glasses for your entire team!
- Respect boundaries in the Pit area! Please be respectful of your fellow FRC teams by being aware of how much space your team is using in the Pit area. Per Manual Section 3.9.3.3: Space Regulations, every team is allocated a 10’x10’x10’ Pit space. Please be conscious of how much space your team is using in order to allow adequate workspace for your neighboring teams, and to ensure overall safety for everyone. We appreciate your Gracious Professionalism™!
- Be sure to pick up your Participation Medallions! On the last day of your team’s initial Competition Event, don’t forget to pick up your Participation Medallions at the Pit Administration table.
- Purchasing Additional Trophies and Medallions: The reorder form for trophies and medallions is now available at: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...nt.aspx?id=440. Teams may order additional trophies and medallions for any award they have won this year. These orders will be shipped in May, see form for details.
- Lost and Found Items: All Lost and Found items get packed on our trucks and come back to FIRST headquarters. All lost item requests will be addressed after the Championship Event in April (when all trucks are back in Manchester).
- Website Award electronic certificates: All Regional Website Award winners and teams who earned the Website Excellence Award will be sent electronic certificates post Championship. These are for placement on winning teams’ websites.
In addition to the above reminders, we ask that you review the important information found in last week’s email blast concerning
Team Rosters, Consent and Release Forms, Shipping Documents, and “What to do if you qualify for Championship” - and more at :
