Item 1. Pay Championship Tournament Registration fee of $350

The following items 2-6 do not get emailed – they get entered/uploaded in the jotform!       


Item 2.  Identify an ADULT, post high school volunteer from your team that is available for the tournament day and have them sign up in the FIRST Volunteer System – you can search for “NorCal” to find all of our events. Note that the volunteer must add the team number in the availability/comment box so we can match their volunteering with your team.

Each team is required to provide an “effective all day” volunteer.

This can be fulfilled in 3 ways:  by 1 person picking 1 full day volunteer role; or 1 person filling 2 separate, non-overlapping half day roles; or by having 2 different team volunteers each fill half day roles.   Again, please make sure that your volunteer adds a comment to list their team number when they apply in VIMS so that can match up your team’s volunteer with your team’s registration status.


Item 3. Provide team photo (in PNG, GIF or JPG only)  –  This will get put into an area that is 1.5″ high by 2″ wide.

Item 4. Provide robot picture (in PNG, GIF or JPG only)  –  This will get put into an area that is 1.4″ high by 2″ wide.

Item 5. Provide team overview  (200 to 250  characters) text.  Include information such as any team sponsors,  your robot’s name (if there is one) and the team’s project title or specific project issue – this information will be published in the tournament program.   If you list team member names, please do not include full names of team members – first name only is fine.

Item 6. Provide a project title  (15 to 20 characters) text and a very short project abstract (25 to 40 characters) text explaining the specific issue/solution that your team picked for their project – this should be very short.

When all items above are received AND the team’s volunteer responsibility is met (ie the volunteer(s) are fully assigned in the FIRST Volunteer system),  the team’s Pit Number  is posted on the team status table.

This allows you to know the team’s specific detailed schedule for the day.

Finally,

OPTIONAL Item 7.   Prepare pit “decorations” / team costumes / and team give-aways for Kids Choice Awards!    Kids Choice Award Categories   Note no stickers, candy,  or similar will be allowed.  We have had a continual problem with this getting stuck to the floor and having issues with cleanup!
