FIRST requires all mentors to complete FIRST Inspires Registration and pass Youth Protection Program (YPP) screening.

This protects both students and adults, and is mandatory across all FRC teams.

How to Register

  1. Go to FIRST Inspires: [FIRST Inspires Registration]

  2. Create or log in to your FIRST account

  3. Select Registration

  4. Search for FRC Team 1086 - Blue Cheese Robotics

  5. Apply

  6. Complete the online consent form

  7. Complete the YPP background screening

Important Notes

  • Use the same account each season

  • If you previously mentored, you still must confirm your status annually

  • You cannot work directly with students until your background check clears
