Details on the 2018 Safety Animation Award sponsored by UL have just been released!

Get creative and help your fellow teams stay safe by submitting an animation for the competition! The submission portal opens on November 8th and closes on December 7th, so get cracking! It’s going to be a fun one this year as FIRST Robotics Competition and UL ask teams to create an animation in the style of an arcade video game. The winning entry will get shown at official FRC events. All the details are in the link above.

We know how creative our teams can be, so let’s see it!

Has anyone successfully submitted the animation? With the new FIRST website layout, my browser’s telling me the FIRST website is redirecting me too many times, so I can’t actually open the page to submit the animation. I’m getting really anxious, as I need to submit it tonight.
If someone is able to help, that’d be great.

Thanks!

We’re not doing Safety Animation Award but I just logged in to try and I can confirm that I am also getting this error when trying to enter the portal for any award. I know it is a little late if you need to submit tonight but your best bet is still to email frcteamadvocate@firstinspires.org. Explain your situation and attach anything you’re planning on submitting. You can also leave a voicemail at (800) 871-8326.

Sorry to not be of more help

I was also having the same issue. I tried using Chrome and Safari but the error page popped up and said I was being redirected too many times.

However, once my coach made me a the Student Award Submitter and I tried to submit again, it worked! So make sure through the FIRST website that your coach has made you the student submitter, if not, it will not let you submit it.

Hope that helps!

You need to be a student award submitter to submit the award.

Dang, these submissions are impressive!

Thanks to everyone who replied lol. It did turn out that my problem was not being assigned as student submitter.
