Our new registration process:

 Our registration form will guide you through all of the steps from entering basic information to paying. Follow it fully and don’t forget to hit submit. Please note that it does autosave to the email you are logged into google with so you should be able to leave the tab if needed and open it back up. This is the only form you will have to fill out. It will take 20-30 minutes at max to go through the steps.

REGISTRATION FORM LINK: https://bit.ly/5190-2024-2025-registration

Note: The registration form collects basic information, gets you registered on FIRST Inspires as a team member, allows you to submit the team handbook, join the team Discord, and add the team calendar to your calendar. All non-basic information related links can also be found below.

Here are the links to other sites that are found on the registration form (don’t worry about clicking on these and accessing them if you already did so on the registration form as guided):

-> Join the team on https://firstinspires.org (and fill out the forms [including the consent and release form])
-> Join the team Discord (students must join, at least one parent/guardian should join [per family/group]): https://discord.gg/frc5190
-> Add the team calendar to yours: https://bit.ly/5190-calendar
-> Parents will also be added to a Parent WhatsApp group chat after registration
-> Team Handbook (filled out handbook page is to be submitted on the registration form itself): https://bit.ly/5190-handbook [We recommend saving the handbook link for future reference]
-> Want to pay via PayPal ($20 transaction fee applies so you will need to pay $670) ? https://bit.ly/5190-paypal

Note: Student dues do not count as donations. A donation receipt will therefore not be given.

That’s it! You will be introduced to the team in the server and will be guided on how to get involved. Congratulations on joining FRC 5190!

*Why do we charge as much as we do?
Compared to other clubs that charge over $1k+ per student but don’t provide even the slightest bit as much technical or skill based experience, our team has an enormous amount to offer to everyone. We try our best to reduce expenses as much as possible while providing a quality learning environment. We pay several thousands of dollars each month for rent and utilities at our build space, robot parts, motors, equipment, etc. all of which cost us an immense amount every year.

Note: We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Everything on our team is volunteer run.
