It is supposed to be online now, but nothing is showing up on USFIRST.org yet. http://www2.usfirst.org/2003comp/game.pdf is also not yet online.

if you go to the first wed site and go to the documents and update part you can get the manual for 2003

I downloaded the entire manual, but where is the usually quite large file with all of the information on all of the components?

Could somebody put it up on a mirror? It looks like FIRST has pulled it down.

That could also mean that there were fatal errors in it, and we will see a fast update!?!

Can other people see the documentation on the FIRST site, or did they pull it down?

I would really like to know what the restrictions are for dimensions, and what is in the kit of parts, before we have our organizational meeting tomorrow!

I can see the chairmans award pdf, and the administrative, drayage, and shipping pdf.

That's it. The same stuff that was there yesterday.

I purged my history, cleared the history, and refreshed the page. Still the same stuff. Now I am baffled.

Any suggestions??

When I clicked on the game, I got a blank page, with no download starting. I wanna get the rules so I can read them closer here.

You most likely just need Adobe Reader.
Get it here (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html).
I just tried and it loaded right up for me.

The manual is not that good this year. The kit of parts appendix is gone and it had the info on a lot of things. Plus, did anyone notice there is no additional hardwarae list. There's a restricted hardware list instead. This is one of the thnigs meant for greater freedom.

Yeah I'm assuming it will come soon too. It seemed odd that it wasn't included like in the past. That thing was huge.
