A Few Questions Answered

Good Morning Teams,

Do you have technical game questions? The FRC Q&A is open. See what other teams have asked the GDC and leave a question of your own.

Don’t know your password for FIRST Choice or the FRC Q&A? Your team’s log in and password for both systems are available in TIMS on the team summary page on the right hand side.

Don’t know what to worry about next? The FRC season deadlines are all available on the Season Calendar.

Are you having trouble saving the FRC Manual to PDF? You’re not alone. We know there’s a problem. The developers are working on it now. Please stand by.

Are you traveling to a Regional Event and don’t know what to do with your robot the night before the big day? This year, most US and Canada Regional Events will allow teams to drop off their robot and equipment between 6 & 8PM the evening before practice day (Wednesday night in most cases- Thursday if your event starts on Friday. Check the event agenda when it is published for more details.) Teams may ONLY drop off their robot and equipment, no unbagging, no plugging in batteries, no work of any kind. Teams are, however, encouraged to leave their Robot Lock Up forms in plain view so that robot inspectors can get a jump start on approving forms for the morning.

Do you need help with your Robot? Do you have expertise you’d like to share with a team? Visit the FIRST Virtual Technical Advisor System to form relationships with teams, mentors and technical experts who are available either through email, phone or instant message.

Are you hosting a week zero event? Here at HQ we’re planning to be involved with two events on Saturday, February 18th so we can get feedback on how the game plays and how the field performs. If your team is hosting a week zero event, please let me know by sending an email to FRCTeams@usfirst.org.

Are you following the Team Updates on your smart phone? Down load the FRC Manual app today. The iOS App to follow the Q&A is now available in the App Store. Search for FRC Q&A by Quextit Media Corp. Android users, we haven’t forgotten you, the app is in development and we’ll let you know when it is ready.
