Greetings Everyone,
I am happy to announce that Pit News will be making a return. We are looking for eager and dedicated people that would like to be a part of this momentous event. We need alot of help getting this off the ground and turned into THE UNOFFICIAL FIRST news print publication.

Along with getting people to help out with getting the publication together, we also need the input of you, (every CD-poster). We need ideas and comments on what you would like to see in the new Pit News. If you have any ideas, thoughts or comments, please reply to this post.

Mike,
Maybe I missed the post, but could you explain to those of us who joined after the conclusion of the last Pit News quite what it is?

I guess I should have done this at the beginning and explain what Pit News is, for those of you who don't know.

Pit News was a webzine that was created and ran by FIRSTers, during the 2001-2002 Season (Pit News CD Post from 2002 (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3023&highlight=pit+news)). It was to be a monthly publication that would have articles written by FIRSTers about competitions, technical tips, technology news, FIRST news, Game News, other interesting general FIRST related news, etc. It had like one or two issues, and then kinda fell apart. If I had to relate it to something, to me its like a print format of the new FIRSTcast.

There we go, thats about it for a general overview of what Pit News is, hope this clears things up for those of you who have no idea................

this is the post that i had put in the other thread concerning bringing back Pit News...... here is the link here http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40803
