Introducing the FRC At Home Portal and the Entry Submission System
Teams, please review the additional websites FRC is using this season to accommodate team submissions for the At Home Challenges.
You will need the help of your Primary and/or Alternate Contact for your team to retrieve your team’s specific and unique access code for entry into the system.
The FRC At Home Portal – used to select the competitions your team will participate in, check submission status, AND get log-in credentials for the second (submission) system
The Entry Submission System – used to fill in scores and provide information to the judges
This link is to a (4) page guide to how to access and submit for the FRC At Home Challenges: https://firstfrc.blob.core.windows.net/frc2021/Manual/AtHomeChallengesSupplements/AtHomeQuickStartGuide.pdf
It’s very important that you review all of the step-by-step information so that you can create your team’s credentials and have smoother entry into the submission system.
Important Note: These portals are separate and are NOT the portals to submit for the Chairman’s Award, the Dean’s List, nor the Woodie Flowers Finalist Award.
