Robot Ship Date: February 20, 2007

Please review the NEW information posted on the "Robot Shipping" page on our web site, located at http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc/content.aspx?id=3570

This page is designed to provide you with easy-to-read documents and step-by-step instructions on how to ship your robot crate. Whether you are a new or returning Shipping Contact, you will want to read these documents. On this page you will find:

• "Shipping your Robot - Important Guidelines"
• "Ready to Ship - How to Ship from My Location" - Available NOW! (Includes information on FedEx donated shipping!)

Please Note: Complete 2007 FRC robot shipping information is contained in the 2007 FRC Manual, Section 4, "Robot Transportation" located at http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc/content.aspx?id=452. The "Robot Shipping" web page documents are meant to supplement the manual, and not to be read in lieu of the manual. Again, please read Section 4 thoroughly.

As always, if you have any questions please contact us at frcteams@usfirst.org. We hope to make your Robot Shipping experience go as smoothly as possible!

Go Teams!
