Greetings Teams:

TIMS now open for 2014 Season Pre-Registration: Teams are now able to login and update their team profiles for the 2014 season in TIMS: https://my.usfirst.org/frc/tims/site.lasso. New rookie teams can also pre-register at this time. Completing the pre-registration process now will allow you to register for events quickly when event registration opens this fall!

**Initial event registration opens September 26, 2013!**

STIMS is where students apply to join their FRC team (students must re-apply each year), complete the 2014 electronic FIRST Consent and Release Form, and submit for specific FRC awards.

2013 Post Season Awards Order Form: The 2013 Post Season Awards Order Form is available here: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...son-order-form. Teams may use this form to order additional trophies, medallions and pins.

Go Teams!

Wow! FIRST Finally realized that late fall is too late to start team registrations. Now I can actually require STIMS registration before we begin team meetings in the fall.

I did the same thing. I was like awesome let me get a jump start on things, and then I realized, oh wait I have to register in that "other system" now.

Still I must give props to HQ on this. I think teams will make great use of having TIMS, STIMS, and Registration up as early as it is. I hope they continue this in future years!

Same thing happened to me.

Whoa. The whole leaving behind high school and moving hours away for college thing is starting to sink in...

Initial event registration in September - sounds pretty good to me. Knowing the competition dates earlier in the year is helpful. Opening STIMS early is nice - perhaps it will help me achieve my dream of having all of my students' consent forms completed weeks before a competition so I can just print the team roster and forget about it.
