BEST NATIONAL REGISTRY TOOL
BEST Robotics has created a BEST National Registry tool providing a one stop competition repository for Teacher, Student Team, and Hub Volunteers registration, scheduling, workflow management, team management, and file management.
This year each volunteer needs to create an account on the tool to gain access to the judging material and schedules.
Volunteer Registration
To create an account and register, follow these 2 steps.
-
CREATE A Registry Account: Go to National Registry Home Page and click the RED Create an Account button. On the field asking the following, Which hub do you primarily participate with? select: Rocky Mountain BEST (Denver CO)
-
REGISTER to Volunteer: Go back to the National Registry Home Page and login with the email and password for the account you just created. On the upper right task bar select REGISTRY, scroll down to find the My Volunteerships Panel. There you will find a pink message with a link to enter EMPLOYER information and then you can click the BLUE Register as a Volunteer button. The registration page again asks What hub do you volunteer at? and again select Rocky Mountain BEST (Denver CO). Select Assist with judging/game day activities to volunteer to help with the competition. You are provided 2 Consent Agreements to review. Finally select the BLUE Register button at the bottom of the page if you agree.
