FRC REBUILT Blog: Volume 16

Urgent!!  Volunteers still needed this weekend! 

It takes volunteers to run all of our events.  We reach out to FTC and FLL teams during FRC season to recruit volunteers and we now need you all to help us make their events go. 

We are especially in need of adults to fill judging roles. If you are a coach or mentor, judging at an event other than where your students are competing is an amazing way to learn about the process and how to coach your students on exactly what they need to do in their presentation to judges.  

We also need students in various roles – referee, scorekeeper, queuer, and field reset. This is a great way for students to meet their volunteer hour requirement! Here are the events with the greatest need: 

December 13: Federal Way and Shoreline 

December 14: Federal Way, Shoreline, Tacoma, Oak Harbor, and Olympia

The deadline for securing your invoice is this Friday, December 12.  You can secure your invoice with a PO from your school, check or credit card.  Not sure if your invoice is secured?  You can check the status here:  https://firstwa.org/frc-team-status/ (Please note, this report is updated manually once a day. 

Your invoice will need to be secured to pick up your kickoff kit on January 10. 

Next Coaches Chat will be Tuesday, December 16 at 7:00 pm

We are trying a new format for our Coaches Chat this year.  For our December coaches chat, we will have a round table with several coaches (And Stokely) talk about what their team does for kickoff and why it is such an important day (other than for the obvious reason)
