FIRST EMAIL/STIMS Opens Today @ Noon ET/Summer Reading
Greetings Teams:
Student Team Information Member System (STIMS) Opens Today, 8/2/12 at Noon ET:https://my.usfirst.org/stims/site.lasso. Returning students can use their login information from last season; new students may register by clicking on the “New Student User” button.
STIMS is where students apply to join their FRC team (students must re-apply each year), complete the 2013 electronic FIRST Consent and Release Form, and submit for the Chairman’s, Safety Animation, Entrepreneurship, Woodie Flowers and Website Awards.
Summer Reading: It’s an excellent time to catch up on some FRC Summer reading! Please encourage your Team’s Mentors to visit the FRC Resources page on the website: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/resources and explore the wealth of helpful information they will find there.
Has somebody confirmed that Entrepreneurship is entered in STIMS? Maybe it is a typo. As far as I know there have been no changes to how Entrepreneurship is being judged.
Well that takes the fun out of running around the pits in New York City trying to find a printer right before the judges come to your team. It’s still better this way. I’m pretty sure this change will be appreciated by those who work tirelessly to draft a plan and have it pretty much ignored by the judges when presenting it.
