Re: NEED HELP FROM ALL US FIRST TEAMS!
Having had a look at the website, nowhere is US FIRST used - except in their website name usfirst.org

Re: NEED HELP FROM ALL US FIRST TEAMS!
A few pieces of advice:
Stop using all caps on your page. It's obnoxious and looks like amateur hour, regardless of how "huge" your campaign may be. Referring to FIRST as US FIRST isn't going to get you far. Your slogan is not original-either FIRST or someone speaking about FIRST came up with this years ago. Doesn't mean it's not good, but representing it as your own is somewhat disingenuous. |

Re: NEED HELP FROM ALL US FIRST TEAMS!
This has a very odd vibe to it......
I sent a nice Nigerian Prince $1000 the other day- He said he has an oppertunity to generate me mass profits and that it will be an oppertunity I can't miss! I am eagerly awaiting his reply I will be rich beyond my wildest dreams very shortly! Trying to garner support for a cause before you tell anyone what it is? You will be much better off to wait a few weeks until after you release the details. Then you may be more successful. You have to remember you are comming from a very young team with 11 posts under your username. We don't know much about your creditability or really who you are. I do however admire your effort. I'll wait to hear what this oppertunity is before I support it. |

Re: NEED HELP FROM ALL US FIRST TEAMS!
You have to look deep in order to find it. The legal documents on the site (e.g. financial statements) consistently give the official name of the organization as "United States Foundation for Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology". The preferred name is merely FIRST®.

Re: NEED HELP FROM ALL US FIRST TEAMS!
You need to consult this page on the FIRST website:
http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...ng-tools/brand Using the term USFIRST is incorrect. From the FIRST "Branding and Design Standards": "FIRST® owns valuable assets in the form of trademarks and copyrights. Before using FIRST assets, including names, logos, graphics, and written material, please review our “Policy on the Use of FIRST Trademarks and Copyrighted Materials” (includes FIRST and The LEGO Group Intellectual Property). The Policy is available on our website www.usfirst.org/brand" Last edited by fox46 : 01-03-2012 at 00:57. |

Re: NEED HELP FROM ALL US FIRST TEAMS!
I've been tempted to post to this some of the efforts our team has taken... but I'll resist and only say this: If what you're working on is really that influential to the FIRST community, one of two things will be true:
1. You can tell us details about the effort OR 2. You won't need our support of your specific team, just of the program in general Let us know more... you have a huge community of individuals here dying to support good ideas that will benefit everyone! |

It's like the difference between your full legal name and your nickname. You get called by your nickname, despite your legal name being something different. You might not respond when you're called by that legal name, but that is still your name. However, you might not respond to that legal name... possibly because you don't like it. |

Re: NEED HELP FROM ALL US FIRST TEAMS!
Did anything come of this? I don't see anything on either FB or YouTube. Did I miss anything? I'm hoping who ever this new sponsor is works out for your team.
