Re: First Yearbook

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for or not... You may find the details in section 1.7.6 of the Manual:
The Yearbook Page is a team overview page and is your team’s opportunity to share valuable information with FIRST and with the judges at the Regional and Championship events. Enter the information via the TIMS under the “Pre-Event” information area.
The data you enter will help provide important statistics about FIRST teams. These data are very valuable for planning events and very helpful in our efforts to procure funding. FIRST may use the robot photos you submit in the Awards Ceremonies.
1.7.6.1 Purpose of Yearbook Page
• Provides a common starting point for judging each team
• Helps provide judges with insight into each team's workings, history, goals, strengths, and robot
• Makes judging more efficient
• Provides team data for FIRST and its archives
1.7.6.2 Yearbook Page Information and Deadline
The submission deadline is February 22, 2007, 11:59 EST.
Enter this data via the TIMS in the “Pre-Event Information” area.
Don’t wait until the last minute: If you wait until the deadline date to start entering information, you may have problems you can’t resolve by closing time. We face a strict printing deadline when preparing for events, and we urge you to start and complete these pages as early as you can. If you ask for help early, Team Support will have time to help, but our small staff cannot help if too many teams wait until the last days.
No Time Extensions: FIRST cannot grant time extensions to complete this information.
1.7.6.3 Required “Pre-Event” Information
To prepare for this project, you may want to gather information about your team. Put in your data in your TIMS record as you gather it. The following is an idea of the type of information you will need for this area:
• Number of years team has been involved
• Name of the Student Leader
• Team Budget for the year
• Robot or robot and team photo
• Number of female and male students, engineers and technicians, teachers, and parents on the team
• How many freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors
• Teacher/Mentor information
• Percent of your school's student population receiving free or reduced-price lunch
Essay Portion – Please answer briefly. This section requires short, written descriptions of the
following:
• Team history
• Team goals
• FIRST impact on the team/community
• Community description
• Team strengths
• Most significant challenge the team overcame
• Robot game and strategy
• For which awards is the Team is most competitive this year?
• Funding sources
Why is the public aware of your team?
Photo: In the designated spot on the web page, insert a single digital photo of the robot, or the team and robot. Judges rely on these photos, and they also help FIRST with media coverage and awards ceremonies.
Format: The Main Contact for each team will receive the necessary instructions for filling out the form via the TIMS. To ensure proper archiving, carefully follow the directions.
