FIRST Official Q&A Website

[KevinB]

Forgive me for asking this; I searched and searched ... I'm not on a team anymore, so I don't have access to everything.

I remember in the past there was an official FIRST Q&A Website where clarifications about the game would be posted. Is that still around? Can someone give me the URL?

Thanks.

does anyone knwo when the questions will be answwered?

I am under the impression that FIRST publishes team updates Tuesdays and Fridays, and that there are a few other pages in development, one of which is going to be up by January 15. Understand that a lot of traffic and work is going on at the FIRST website right now, so wait a bit to let things get going before checking the site again.

Good luck!

There's a thread with some of the basic Q/A questions answered..

This was an attempt to answer some questions sooner for some people, since many answers can be found in the manual already.

It may seem redundant to the Q/A system, but for the ones people clearly know the answer to, they can post it in a thread and sometimes may be quicker than the Q/A answers.
Can also discuss some of the good questions posted that aren't clearly answered in the manual.

I think the Q&A will be available soon, actually I don't remember when it started to work last year's season.

not to be redundant but the general rule for FIRST answering questions


they will answer questions relevant to everyone in FIRST ie. rule contradictions

they may answer questions specific to a team ie. "can we do this"

they won't answer questions which are off topic and non relevant
