Greetings Teams:
Week Three of the 2015 FIRST Robotics Competition event season is here! Please review the following event reminders:
- Team Rosters and Consent & Release Forms: We must remind everyone to print out your Team Roster! When you check-in at your event(s), you will be asked to produce your Team Roster along with any hard-copy Consent & Release forms attached to the Roster itself. Without these items, you will not be allowed to check-in!
- Remember: Even if none of your team members completed an electronic Consent and Release form, you must still print out your Team Roster from TIMS and physically pencil in the names of the students/mentors who provide hard-copies of the form. Also, don’t forget that each team mentor must have completed a hard-copy or electronic version of the Consent and Release Form in order to gain entrance to the event!
- Don’t forget your safety glasses! As most of you know, everyone is required to wear safety glasses at all times in the Pit area. When you are packing up to go to your event(s), please remember to pack safety glasses for every student and mentor who will be in the Pit area. FIRST has only a limited supply of extra safety glasses on hand to lend, so we appreciate your efforts to supply enough safety glasses for your entire team!
- Please review the Safety Manual! You can view the Safety Manual here: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/safety-video-and-manual. It is important that teams obey all safety items, including wearing closed toe shoes, wearing gloves when necessary and practicing safe lifting techniques.
- Do not save seats. It is not fair to other teams or public guests.
- Respect boundaries in the Pit area! Please be respectful of your fellow FRC teams by being aware of how much space your team is using in the Pit area. Each team is usually allocated a 10’x10’x10’ Pit space. Please be conscious of how much space your team is using in order to allow adequate workspace for your neighboring teams, and to ensure overall safety for everyone. We appreciate your Gracious Professionalism®!
- Lost and Found Items: All lost and found items from regional events get packed on our trucks and return to FIRST Headquarters. All lost item requests will be addressed after the FIRST Championship (when all trucks have returned to FIRST Headquarters).
- Extended Team Support Hours: Team Support will be available on Saturdays during competition event weeks from 12:00-5:00 pm Eastern Time. For assistance, please call 1-800-871-8326 x 0.
Championship (CMP) Qualification: Please visit Section 7 of the FRC Administrative Manual: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/competition-manual-and-related-documents for information about FIRST Championship qualifying criteria.
CMP Registration process:
- If your team qualifies at a competition event to attend the CMP, you will automatically be registered for the CMP the Monday following your event.
- On or before Tuesday at 8:00 pm Eastern Time following your event, please contact the Finance department via email at a...@usfirst.org or by phone (800) 871-8326 ext. 563 to make payment arrangements. Payment arrangements can be made by Check, Credit Card, Purchase Order from school or Commitment Letter from Corporate Sponsor. One of these forms must be received by the Tuesday following the qualifying regional by 8:00 pm Eastern Time.
- IMPORTANT - If you do not secure payment by the Tuesday deadline, your team will be removed from the CMP registration, and you will be ineligible to register for the CMP (i.e., your spot will not be held past the Tuesday deadline!).
Robot Transportation to the CMP: FIRST will email teams their shipping documents following their qualifying event. Teams should make arrangements to ship their robot immediately after receiving their shipping documents. Please note: teams that have already received a Robot Transport Exemption do not qualify for a donated FedEx Bill of lading to CMP.
DO NOT ship your robot to the CMP event unless you qualify at your regional event! Only teams officially registered to attend the CMP will have their shipments home covered by the FedEx Donation.
Championship Updates: Please visit the FRC Blog: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/blog-2015-frc-championship-updates for information regarding this year’s FRC Championship.
Go Teams!
