2012 Trophy & Medallion Order Form: Teams wishing to purchase additional trophies and medallions from the 2012 FRC season may do so by completing the “2012 FRC Trophy and Medallion Reorder Form”, which is available here:http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/game-and-season-info

• Don’t forget your Safety Glasses!  As most of you know, everyone is required to wear Safety Glasses at all times in the Pit area.  When you are packing up to go to your Event(s), please remember to pack Safety Glasses for every Student and Mentor who will be in the Pit area (it’s also helpful to pack Safety Glasses for spectators attending on behalf of your team).  FIRST has only a limited supply of extra Safety Glasses on hand, so we appreciate your efforts to supply enough Safety Glasses for your entire team!
• Please review the Safety Manual! You can view the Safety Manual here: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/safety-video-and-manual. It is important that teams obey all safety items, including wearing closed toe shoes, wearing gloves and practicing safe lifting techniques.

• Respect boundaries in the Pit area!  Please be respectful of your fellow FRC teams by being aware of how much space your team is using in the Pit area.  Per Manual Section 4.8.2.2, every team is usually allocated a 10’x10’x10’ Pit space.  Please be conscious of how much space your team is using in order to allow adequate workspace for your neighboring teams, and to ensure overall safety for everyone.  We appreciate your Gracious Professionalism™!

• Lost and Found Items:  All Lost and Found items get packed on our trucks and come back to FIRST headquarters.  All lost item requests will be addressed after the Championship Event (when all trucks are back in Manchester).
