2011-12 Student Team Information Member System (STIMS)

Hello Team

What is STIMS? The FIRST Student Team Information Member System (STIMS) is used to:

  1. Connect Student Team Members with FRC** and FTC teams
  2. Collect annual FIRST Consent and Release Forms required for participation in all FIRST events
  3. Submission of  FRC awards by authorized Student Team Members
  4. Stay in touch with FIRST Participants

STIMS can be accessed at: https://my.usfirst.org/stims/site.lasso

This system will also handle our official Team Roster and is a requirment for travel, so any student planning or thinking about traveling to ANY FIRST event must sign up using this system.  Please use a real email address.

Parents/Guardians: When your student applies to a team, you will receive an email from STIMS to activate your account. You will then be able to complete your child’s FIRST Consent & Release Form.

*NOTE: STIMS is intended for Pre-College Student Team Members & their Parents/Legal Guardians. If you are an adult team member of an FRC team, please ask Raj (raj@shrewsburyrobotics.org) or Tsom (john@shrewsburyrobotics.org) to invite you to join the team using the FRC TIMS Mentor invitation process. 

*NOTE: If you were a mentor last year we will be removing current FRC Team Mentors/College Students and the re-inviting all new/old members.

If you are a RETURNING STUDENT:
Returning STIMS student users must reapply to their team(s) using existing login credentials

Students who have used STIMS in previous seasons should log into STIMS using their existing login credentials and reapply to their team(s). Do Not create a new student user account each season. Existing student users should login using last year’s login credentials, accept the annual Terms & Conditions and re-apply to their team(s).  Parents/Legal Guardians will be notified of the student’s team application via email and asked to login using their existing parent user account credentials to continue.  If you have forgotten your password, click the “I can’t access my account” link to reset your password.

If you are a NEW STUDENT:
Create Student User Account  & Apply to Team

Student team members must create a student user account in STIMS and provide his/her name and email address and date of birth. If the student is under 18, they will be asked to indicate their parent’s name and email address. (The parent’s email address must be a different email address than the email address provided by the student.) Students over 18 years of age will be able to update his/her user profile and complete annual FIRST Consent & Release Forms. 

After the student creates a user account they must apply to their team, then both the student and the parent will receive a team application email stating that the student has successfully applied to the FRC or FTC team.  Students should ask their parent / legal guardian to check their email after applying to their team.

If you have any question please email Raj (raj@shrewsburyrobotics.org)

Go Team!
