Dear FIRST Tech Challenge Oregon Teams:
A few items for you today.
FIRST Tech Challenge/ FIRST Robotics Competition Team Social - December 9th
December 9th, Team Social from 6-11pm. ORTOP is hosting the 1st ever team social for Oregon FTC/FRC teams at World of Speed in Tigard, Oregon! There is no charge for this event, however, in the spirit of Gracious Professionalism please do not print a ticket unless you intend to use it. We are limiting this event to the first 300 participants. Information Flyer
UPDATE ON FTC OREGON LEAGUES
FTC Oregon League Meet Zero went very well for our 11 Leagues and 133 teams. Our thanks to the League Managers and volunteers for staging the events. A large majority of the teams had running robots capable of moving and scoring at least one task. Beacons were a very popular task to try. Reports have surfaced that teams were helping each other solve issues. At the MidWestern League, team representatives offered Tips and Tricks they learned from reading the FIRST Tech Challenge FORUM. League Meet #1 begins the week of November 14th. Non- League teams are invited to attend League Meets to watch the action.
HEADS UP for League Teams
#1 - Be sure to sure every team member, mentor and guests invited into your pit have SAFETY GLASSES. Please note that regular Rx glasses are NOT safety glasses. However, regular glasses with shatterproof lenses can be adapted to safety glasses by adding side shields, like this.
#2 - At every meet and tournament, the mentor MUST present the STIMS Roster listing the mentors and team members who have electronically submitted a FIRST Consent and Release Form AND handwritten listing of team members who have submitted paper version of the Youth Registration form. Many of you have reported issues that our team parents have experienced in signing up their child to your teams. I hope this this help document will help mentors assist their parents through the process.
