+Hi,
+
+You're in! We're happy to confirm you've got a place at Student Robotics 2025!
+
+Thank you for taking on the role of a [team supervisor][team-supervisor] for
+your team. If you have any questions about the [competition programme][programme-structure],
+building a robot or anything else, please feel free to email us at
+<[email protected]>.
+
+This year we're hosting [Kickstart][kickstart] at the University of Southampton,
+on Saturday 12th October. We will also be live-streaming the event if you are
+unable to attend in person. In that case we encourage that your team meet up to
+watch the presentations, get to know each other and start working together on
+the kit.
+
+As usual we will loan your team a [kit][kit] of parts to help build your robots.
+This year we hope to send out kits shortly before Kickstart, in early October.
+
+In order to enable us to send out your kit you need to agree to our _kit
+disclaimer_ (PDF attached). This disclaimer covers the terms and conditions
+under which you may use the kit and outlines the limits of our responsibilities.
+Please sign it, scan it and email it back to us.
+
+We will be sending your kit to the shipping address you provided when you signed
+up:

+
+If your team would like to get started before Kickstart, **new for this year**
+we have prepared some [pre-Kickstart activities][pre-kickstart-activities] which
+introduce robotics and our simulator without needing the kit.
+
+At various points in the year we will have a number of "[Tech Days][tech-days]"
+at locations around the UK. These provide an opportunity for your team to get
+hands-on help from our volunteer mentors, make progress on their robot, and meet
+other teams.
+
+Throughout the year your team will be able to get support for our mentors via
+[Discord][discord]. In addition to shared channels where any team can ask
+questions, each team will have their own private text chat channel and team
+supervisors can request voice & video channels too. These offer a space for
+teams to discuss their robot and get direct support from our mentors at any
+time.
+
+We'll send out more information about this year's [Discord][discord] server
+along with an invite link in the coming weeks.
+
+To ensure that you receive your robotics kit before Kickstart, please provide
+us with the details necessary by 1st October:

+
+We look forward to seeing you at Kickstart!
