In FIRST Tech Challenge, Teams are eligible and considered for MOST FTC awards simply by attending an FTC competition. There are a few exceptions, and those exceptions only exist because more information is required. The Control Award is one of those Awards.

 
However, applying for the Control Award is easy and open to every FTC team. Fill out the Control Award Content Sheet (one for each autonomous or driver-controlled program) and at your event, ask the Pit Administrator how to deliver your team�s Control Award Content Sheet(s) in application for the award.

All necessary information and forms are found in the Game Manual Part I in Appendix 3, including an example completed Content Sheet. 

We know your team�s robot has great programming going on. Apply for the Control Award!

AndyMark Will Now be the Source for New FTC Fields and Game Elements

FIRST Tech Challenge is excited to partner with AndyMark on Field and Game Elements for the 2014-2015 Season.  That means you no longer have to build a practice field, but can purchase one from AndyMark and have it shipped to you after Kickoff (no Team pre-orders!). They will offer teams a full or half field option and each kit comes with the Field Setup elements and Game Elements. Don't worry, you can still build a field if you want to! But what will they be? Each year, the Game Design Committee drums up a new element that presents a variety of manipulation challenges for teams to overcome. They've chosen wiffle balls, rings, two varieties of racquet balls, hockey pucks and batons, to name a few.  Since elements are different from year to year, teams must redesign their robots each season to accommodate the new item and the scoring objectives. What do you think this year's element will be?  Leave your guesses below and go to a kickoff event , or go to www.usfirst.org/...
