From FIRST Headquarters:

**TIME SENSITIVE** don’t forget to take inventory of your Kit of Parts after Kickoff! After receiving and checking all items in your Kickoff Kit, should you determine parts are missing or damaged, you must use the FIRST “Replacement Parts Request” system to let us know of any issues. Your team’s Lead Mentor 1 or Lead Mentor 2 can submit the request by logging in to TIMS: https://my.firstinspires.org/frc/tims/site.lasso, clicking on “Team Summary” and clicking on the “Submit your Replacement Parts Request Here” button.

IMPORTANT: This is a time limited, one-time only opportunity to submit your Replacement Parts Request.  We must receive your Replacement Parts Request by 12:00 pm (noon) Eastern Time on Friday, January 15th.    

Game Q & A System: FIRST recognizes that teams may have questions about game rules, robot construction, event logistics and more. FIRST asks that teams use the Q&A System to post questions pertaining to a specific section within the 2016 Competition Manual.  Your posted questions will be reviewed by the appropriate moderator and answered in a timely manner (usually within 2-3 business days). The 2016 Q&A System will open on Wednesday, January 13th at 12:00 pm (noon) Eastern Time.
