2015 Kit of Parts Survey

Help improve the Kit of Parts for future seasons! The results of this survey will be used to look for new parts, improve current items and increase the value that the Kit of Parts provides to teams. This feedback is also sent to Suppliers to help them make good decisions about their donations. Please have one technical student and one technical mentor complete the survey here. The survey should take around 15-20 minutes and your answers can be anonymous if you choose.

Two Championship Survey Results

As many of you know, after FIRST announced that they would be moving to having two Championships starting in 2017, they released a survey to FRC teams to gather information on the change.

7,355 individuals responded, which represents about 10% or so of the total number of mentors and students in FRC. About 75% of the 7,355 provided a team number, and those respondents were from 1,501 teams, about 52% of the total number of FRC teams in 2015.

The survey results, as well as information on how FIRST will be using them, can be found here.
