Initial Event Registration

Blog Date: Tuesday, September 29, 2015 - 09:34

We hope the teams who have registered so far for the 2016 season have had a smooth experience. From the FIRST HQ side, the initial rush seemed to go pretty well, and we haven’t had many calls or emails about system issues. But, what’s important is your experience, not ours. If you have any feedback on your registration experience, please send your comments to frcteams@usfirst.org, or give our friendly team support folks a call at 800-871-8326 extension zero.

Here’s a photo of a graph showing CPU load shortly after initial registration. Check out that spike around Noon!

Still Your Chance to Help with the 2017 Championship

As I noted in this blog, we’re looking for a community member to participate on a team that will be making recommendations to FIRST leadership on elements of the 2017 Championship. Check out the details in the original blog, and please send those emails in by Wednesday, September 30th! We have a number of good applications so far, but would like a large pool to draw from.

Es obvio que esto representa un juego de agua.

Sorry, but since someone was going to say it anyway, at least it looks a little different.

You're not allowed back in VA if that happens

We still have Swiss mostly assembled, so we're ready for it.

To get a little bit back on topic, does anyone know when the first round of registration closes? (for MAR if it makes a difference) It would be very helpful for me to know how much pressure I need to put on our mentors to get registered.

The FRC calendar says the next round opens 10/8, with all registration ending 11/23.
