FRC Community Sponsored Awards

Today's blog comes from Jamee Luce, FRC Team Advocate.

The FRC Community is an incredible one! With our core values of Coopertition and Gracious Professionalism, we serve as a role model for the way the world could operate. But how do you recognize the almost 3,000 teams for doing work that is often above and beyond what is expected? That would be a long Awards Ceremony!

FRC Team Advocate Introduction

Today's blog comes from Jamee Luce, the new FRC Team Advocate.

What happens after you take the Red Pill?

It’s pretty much just like The Matrix…well, FIRST doesn’t run on the energy from humans plugged into a big generator, but you get the idea. And I haven’t been to see the Oracle yet, but I know my chance is coming. Maybe I am getting ahead of myself.

Two Championship Survey Results and Path Forward

As many of you know, after we announced that FIRST would be moving to having two Championships starting in 2017, we released a survey to FIRST Robotics Competition teams on this change.

7,355 individuals responded. This represents about 10% or so of the total number of mentors and students we have in FRC. About 75% of the 7,355 provided a team number, and those respondents were from 1,501 teams, about 52% of the total number of FRC teams we had in 2015.
