Re: TIMS Down - 2/19/14

So - TIMS is still down. I guess I'll just have to hop on my school's Lear Jet and fly the submission to NH. Anyone need a ride on the way?

Re: TIMS Down - 2/19/14

Still down apparently. Is there actually a process to get an extension?

Re: TIMS Down - 2/19/14

It appears the problem is not only related to TIMS and STIMS. I can't get to any of the event or team information pages like this one: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...egional-events

Re: TIMS Down - 2/19/14

The instructions on the Dean's List page read, across, the top, "Once your submission is complete, click the Submission Complete button below. If you discover an error in your submission, you can still make changes up until the deadline."

I don't see a button labeled as 'Submission Complete,' but I have checks for all of the fields below. What am I missing?

Re: TIMS Down - 2/19/14

Hi Madison,

I think the "submission complete" button only appeared once. Once you've clicked it for the first time, you just have the "edit details" and "back to team summary" buttons. I take it that the submission is always considered "complete" after that initial submission, regardless of your changes.

If you go back to your team summary, it should show "Last submitted by ..." and a check mark next to Dean's List.

Ah -- thanks. I thought that might be the case, but it wasn't clear.

I'm glad to see that someone got there before I did. Relying on me to beat deadlines before 10am is never a good idea.

It's good you got it in when you did Madison... it was a 9:00 am deadline.
(for us west coast types at least)

I did write to FIRST and ask them to consider an extension for teams on the west coast that tried for a long time last night to get in and could not...
I had already gotten ours in this morning...so this was not for our team...

Here was the response from them:
*****************************
We understand that last night’s technical issue negatively impacted teams, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience. We thank you for sharing your feedback about this, but we will not be considering a deadline extension as the Dean’s List Award was open for submissions from November 14th-February 20th.

******************************

interesting and not what I expected... but I understand their point....
If I did not extend a deadline in my classroom after I was the one that had problems accepting an assignment on the last day that the assignment was due...... I would have major problems....

I am a little disappointed with this response from FIRST.
While our team submitted a week ago and recently had added/revised a few parts with success, I hope others didnt miss the deadline due to this.
The build season is a big factor when considering students. I fail to see how any good writeup, especially for a 1st year student can be done during the November 14th opening when school isnt even 1/2 way through yet nor was the experience of the student in an FRC program at its peak during build season.
Some of the posters here are also mentors who help build robots. Its not like they are procrastinating with so much free time to spare.
My only suggestion would be to extend it the same amount of time that it was unavailable for teams to submit.

I don't think it's an unreasonable expectation that FIRST's systems would function as intended -- particularly near the deadline. It's a little silly for them to pass the blame onto others (You could've done this when it wasn't broken!) rather than admit culpability and atone for it.

I knew it was a 9AM deadline; I usually don't get up until after 9 because I'm both lazy and lucky that my employer is awesome. Expecting me to function before 10 is a bad idea. I happened to wake up earlier today because build season wiped me out and I fell asleep at 7 last night.
