Hi Everyone, FIRST robotics is looking for some judges for one of the big high school robotics competitions next Friday and/or Saturday in Salem. (additional details below) I’d volunteer myself, but my son is on the Crescent Valley team and they try to avoid parents being judges. This would be a great way to fulfill those service requirements. Let me know if you are interested and I can help get you connected.

We discourage mentors of competing teams from judging but if you have sponsors or community supporters could you ask them to come support as a judge? We are still recruiting six judges for our event next weekend. Come enjoy a weekend of robots at the Oregon State Fairgrounds<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmy.firstinspires.org%2FVolunteers%2FWizard%2FSearch%2F2%3FEventId%3D56576&data=04%7C01%7Calan.fern%40oregonstate.edu%7C5b4f6005e4aa42cc973508da07aeddd5%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C637830745204905666%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=axhLz9YXNyp46X1TWoQBRpWP6lDOBiJ4HqirvQNX5NI%3D&reserved=0>! We are recruiting judges to support our teams who have been working hard all season in preparation of this event. Time Commitment * Judging will start at 8:30 AM on Friday, March 25th and will conclude at roughly 5:00 PM. * On Saturday, March 26th, we will be starting at 7:30 AM and concluding with an awards ceremony ending at about 5:00 PM. Reminders: * Don’t forget to wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes to your shift and bring your favorite pair of safety glasses if you own a pair. * If you don’t own safety glasses, we will have glasses to loan you. * Wear your FRC blue judge polo if you have one, if you do not, we will have one there when you arrive * Please email me your company name as you would like it displayed on the slide that introduces us during opening ceremonies. This is important to show the students that our employers are invested in the program. Venue Information: * The Venue is located at Oregon State Fairgrounds 2330 - 17th St NE Salem, Oregon * When you arrive, please come directly to the Judges Room * Please print and sign this Conflict of Interest form<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.firstinspires.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fuploads%2Fresource_library%2Fvolunteer%2Fconflict-of-interest-and-disclosure-statement.pdf&data=04%7C01%7Calan.fern%40oregonstate.edu%7C5b4f6005e4aa42cc973508da07aeddd5%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C637830745204915618%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=YBTWoerForPTO%2FxAKeJnXLQF65u0toTO0XIA%2F43CDlg%3D&reserved=0> if you have any relation with a team (sponsor, mentor, alumni, etc) * Its purpose is to ensure that judges refrain from steering the groups' decisions regarding teams with which they have an association. If you have not already done so, please be sure to read the Judge Manual (attached) and complete the required Judge Certifications. These contain important information to prepare you for the event. I’ll send you another email a few days before our event with any final details. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any additional questions that you may have. Thanks again for volunteering to Judge. I can GUARANTEE that you will have an amazing time!
