Team Blast: New Features on the Events page

Hi ,

Program Updates, Deadlines, & Reminders

New Features: Check out these new features on FIRST^® Robotics Competition Events, such as team avatars showing on the team lists for events.

Events Carpet: Read this update in the FIRST Robotics Competition Blog about the carpet for the 2024 season events and ways teams can acquire carpets for themselves.

Team Tip – Delegate and Designate: Share this email blast with your FIRST Robotics Competition team! We know mentors are busy, so it can be helpful to designate a team member or parent to read the weekly team blast on Thursdays and report important information out to the team. That way you won’t miss out on any upcoming deadlines or season specifics. If your designated team blast reader is over the age of 18, all they need to do is sign up to receive the email. All blasts are also posted on the Team Blasts Archive page within 24 hours of sending.
