1. September Team Status Report - Now Open!
Please take a few moments and give us some feedback as to how your team is doing with the FTC program. We understand a few of you have just registered and are just starting (which is great!) but we'd still appreciate some feedback as to how we can help you. This will not take more than a few moments to complete and you can have one of your mentors or team members complete it. This report will be open until Friday, Oct. 1, 2010 and we ask for all teams to complete this report. (If you have multiple teams, please fill out a report for each of your teams.)
The status report can be found at: https://spreadsheets.google.

3. Upcoming FTC Events
We are excited to partner with several colleges and museums, throughout the State, as host sites for our scrimmage events.
A listing of our upcoming events can be found at: https://sites.google.com/site/
We will notify you when scrimmage registrations has opened.
A few changes from last season:
- We encourage teams to attend at least one scrimmage. The more you can attend, the better your team will be.
- There is no registration fee to attend scrimmages.
- We will be running the scrimmages, especially the ones in January and February, as if it is a tournament. Please come prepared to compete. If your robot doesn't work perfectly, that is ok. We will have resources there to help you.
- We will be doing robot inspections at the scrimmages. Please make sure all of your robot parts fit within the guidelines put forth in the game manual.
