Does anybody know if FIRST send medals to every team, or do they just send them to the teams that didn’t place in a competition. This year we placed 1st in Chicago. In years past, we would have recieved some already.
Does anybody know??
I’m pretty sure that we recieved participation medals last year after we place second in San Jose.
If you’re sure that the coach didn’t receive the team medals in the mail, just email Lori Ragas or Ericka Smith at FIRST. They will reply immediately. We were short a few medals and after contacting them, had them within 2 or 3 days.
Last year, as National Fianalists and a Regional winner, we did not get additional medals.
We also got our participation medals already. We were short two medals, but got those soon after.We were dividion finalists, but still got participation medals this year, so I assume you guys should too.
