I am proud to announce the launch of FRCMastery.com (http://frcmastery.com/).

In 2009 we created Tip Jar Video Blogs, providing hints, tips and tricks for the FRC. In response to considerable positive feedback, we’ve taken the Tip Jar Videos a step further and created a whole new website dedicated to getting your robot up and running.

I’ll be adding new content and new videos regularly throughout the competition. Because I’d like the site to be as comprehensive as possible, I’m seeking video, code and idea contributions from participants, mentors and suppliers. Please email me at ben@enabletc.com if you or your team is interested in collaborating to help all teams build better, more efficient robots.
