Hi ,

Program Updates, Deadlines, & Reminders

2024 KitBot Review: Read this FIRST^®  Robotics Competition blog about the 2024 KitBot feedback and improvements for the 2025 season.  

FIRST Updates

FIRST^® Account Maintenance Reminder: FIRST accounts are reset at the beginning of each season. Users will need to log in to the FIRST Dashboard to accept the FIRST policies and the season’s Consent & Release form, update their profiles, and renew the Youth Protection screening if expired. 

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 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.
