**FIRST EMAIL**/Robot Ship Date Coming Soon!

[Mark McLeod]

Greetings Teams:

Robot Ship Date: February 17, 2009

Yes, the time is almost here! Two more weeks from today and then it will be time to pack up the 'bots and send them off to have some fun!


There are many things to know about shipping your robot, and by now many of you have read the details in the FRC Competition Manual, Section 4, located at http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc...nt.aspx?id=452.

We also want to be sure you review the information posted on the "Robot Shipping - Utilizing the FedEx Donation" page at: http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc...t.aspx?id=3570.

This page is designed to provide you with the FedEx donation guidelines and how-to instructions. Whether you are a new or returning Shipping Contact, you will want to review this page for this year's information.

Please note that the "Robot Shipping - Utilizing the FedEx Donation" page is meant to supplement Section 4 of the 2009 Competition Manual, not to be read in lieu of it. Be sure to carefully read and understand all documents.

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, and we highly encourage you to send questions early.


Go Teams!
