Chief Delphi - BETA 2015?

After reading through this thread last night and seeing some posts about 11 & the issues with there being only 1 MAR team selected for the 2015 Beta Testing program, I wanted to take a moment this morning to share my thoughts with the MAR - FRC Community.

1. Thank you to FRC 836 - The Robobees for offering to help us cover the Duel on the Delaware event later this year. Your support and offering to assist us is greatly appreciated!

2. As things appear now with us being the only MAR team selected for this Beta Testing program with FIRST, FRC 11 will do it's best to share, present and assist teams with understanding the new control system. Our team has and always will have an open door policy when it comes to helping support our friends in MAR/FIRST and this situation is no different.

3. I have been in contact with our Beta Testing development team since the announcement was made and are currently developing our plan as to how we can effectively share this knowledge to the MAR community over the coming months. At this time I can say for sure that we will be attending the November 1st Ramp Riot Event hosted by FRC 341 - Miss Daisy and will look to see about providing a presentation at that event with their permission.

4. As I work with our team in the coming weeks to develop a plan as to how and when we can share this information, I will be sure to communicate our intentions with the MAR Board so they can share the information out to the teams in a timely and effective manner and teams can plan their schedules around attending one of our sessions. Stay tuned!

If there are any direct questions any of you have of myself or FRC 11 - MORT, please don't hesitate to email me at dbodmer@mort11.org. Your support of our efforts is and will be greatly appreciated.

Mr. B.
