FRC Blogged - Einstein Update and Game Hint Status
 

Taken from the FRC Blog, 12/18/2012 - http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...me-hint-status

Well, I believe this is the first time FIRST actually told us when they'll release a hint. And hey, it happens to be on the most common day they release one, too!

And it seems like they made a logo for the Einstein Investigation Report. :yikes:

Clearly they're releasing the game hint on 12/21/12 because they know the world's going to end, and they want to keep FIRSTers happy and distracted until the very end.

It sounds like they've been putting a lot of work into increasing the ability for the field and teams to debug problems quickly, thank you FRC staff!

Also, Practice Matches and sensor calibration for Einstein teams is good stuff :)

Re: FRC Blogged - Einstein Update and Game Hint Status
 

Einstein practice matches is a great addition and one that the FRC community heavily pushed for.

The work they're doing on the wireless system is a great thing. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the smoothest year ever for field communications. If that happens, I'll consider that to be a silver lining to last year's bad Einstein situation.

I used to wonder if the FRC staff would read the CD game hint posts and just laugh to themselves..now I know they do.

I think some of diagnostics tools discussed in the Einstein update refer to the stuff us Beta Testers have been able to play around with, which is awesome because I really think the FIRST community will like the Driver Station Log Viewer. The extra practice time is also an excellent idea.
