Many of the staff are already on site in St. Louis and I'm guessing most of the volunteer positions are assigned. They are dealing with hundreds and hundreds of volunteers.
Suggestion: If you are already registered in the VIMS, make sure you have put "assign as needed" as your job choice and be willing to be flexible. Also be open to volunteering for FTC or FLL or FRC.
Check in at the volunteer area when you arrive and they may be able to tell you then if there are any open positions. There may not be.
There is also a Student Ambassador program at the event. You could inquire about training, etc. when you arrive.
