Yeah, this post is pretty much pointless.

wrong password

I was told that the encrypted game manual should be posted today or tomorrow on the FRC website. With the more complex and unorganized website being a problem for me ( ;) ), does anyone know if the game manual has been posted yet? Thanks

yes

Re: FRC 2016 Game Manual

Has there ever been an instance where someone has actually gotten into the game manual before the kickoff, or has it always been a secret?

Someone breaking the manual before kickoff is next to impossible. The US government uses the same methods (128-bit AES encryption) to protect Top Secret information, and considers such information to be completely secure for several weeks.

Re: FRC 2016 Game Manual

The archived 2015 manual is 1.4MB. The encrypted 2016 manual is nearly 16MB. Is that a consequence of the encryption or just crazy?

Partially. The 2015 encrypted manual was 2.97 MB.

Does that mean that the new game manual will be ~7.5 MB? (daaaaaang)
(1.4/2.97=.47, .47*16=7.5)

I hope that means that the game manual images will be good enough to answer a lot more questions than previous years. Poring through the field drawings to get a linear measurement to within less than 10% is a lot harder than it ought to be.

Supposedly someone on the FRC subreddit has done it this year. https://www.reddit.com/r/FRC/comment...been_uploaded/

Hmm we shall see if he is telling the truth. I actually somewhat believe him it's highly unlikely I know but, he seems sincere.

What am I saying the guy is obviously trolling. In a day and a half we will know.

The encrypted manual shows up on my laptop as 111 pages compared to last year's 65 pages.
