Team Leaders, don’t forget to go to the FUM home page (https://firstuppermidwest.org/# ) for the FIRST Community Resource link if you need assistance in building your robot.  Here are a few announcements:

Teams can once again write-in the name of their 2020 robot in Team Information profiles (TIMS).

Steps are:
•       Look on Lefthand side of dashboard for Team Options
•       Click on Team Information
•       Click on Team Profile
•       Under the listing for Team Website, look for “Enter Name of Robot”
•       Save
•       Log out
Eventually, it will show up on the Blue Alliance, etc.
