Name Changes!

Multiple teams have reached out about their team names not matching on my lists vs their dashboards.

This is because while my email list gets updated every time I post a blog, the team name section only gets updated once or twice.

If your team names are incorrect, please fill out this form. Please make sure whatever you put on this form matches what is listed on your dashboard at firstinspires.org. This makes it easier for me.

The form!

Important Deadlines in the next few weeks

FIRST Registration closes November 13.  What does that mean?

  • If you are interested in a 3rd play, you need to select it before registration closes
  • If you haven’t already, you will want to select a kickoff before registration closes.  It is important you select a kickoff.  If you don’t, you will be listed as a my site and your kit will ship to you after kickoff (and you will be charged by FIRST for the shipping)

Securing your FIRST Registration:  I know you are all receiving emails from FIRST but your team does NOT have to secure their FIRST registration prior to November 13, FIRST Washington will secure your FIRST registration by November 13th 

FIRST Washington invoices will go out no later than November 20th.  Here is a breakdown of what you will see on the invoice:  

  • FIRST & FIRST Washington Registration fee of $13,000
  • Grants up to $6000 that show on your firstinspires dashboard (if you have grants totaling more than $6000, reach out to me to find out how that can be applied as payment to your invoice)
  • Grants from FIRST Washington and/or ORTOP 

Your invoice will need to be secured by Friday, December 8 .

Our next FRC Coaches Chat will be Thursday, Nov 16 at 7 pm

For those teams that have paid their invoices, thank you!  You can disregard the rest of this section.

For those of you who haven’t paid your FIRST Washington Registration (which is over half of our teams at this point)  Please get your invoice paid asap. You may not be allowed to play in your second league event if your invoice is not secured.

Your invoice was sent to the person that was designated on your FIRST Washington registration form.  If you did not receive your invoice, please let me know (Include your team number and who needs to receive the invoice in your email).
