2016 Game Manual Online
Just wanted to let everyone know that the game manual is now online and availible for encrypted download at address below. For those who don't know, FIRST releases the password at the end of the kickoff broadcast. Feel free to post any password guesses below :D

Re: 2016 Game Manual Online
Hey. Is anyone else having issues downloading the frc game manual? I can view it in my browser on my iPhone and Windows computer but it won't allow me to download it as an encrypted pdf to my computer or phone. Is there a reason behind this? Or am I just missing something? Thanks

Re: 2016 Game Manual Online
I wish they would just post an encrypted zip file. Everyone is going to re-download the actual files after kickoff because no one has the patience to type the password every time they open a file. In the future, could FIRST please just provide an encrypted zip so we only need to type the password once?

As a comparison, I looked at the Admin Manual and my phone gave me a lot more options for things to do with it. Email it, send it to iBooks, send it to Dropbox etc. |

Re: 2016 Game Manual Online
I think it's because so many people are trying to download rn. Mine worked but really slow.... It's a 16 MB file and it took like 5 min... (Win 10, Chrome)
|
Neither of the FIRST apps for iPhone appear to have the latest manuals available yet.

Re: 2016 Game Manual Online
I've noticed that this years files are much larger in file size than last years encrypted files. This year's game manual is 15.5MB, compared to last year's 3MB. This year's Field drawing files total 128 MB, compared to last year's 46MB. I wonder if its just attributed to higher resolution images, or if there is much more detail in the manual this year.
I also wish they encrypted the game animation and field tour videos. It would make it a lot easier to watch them a second time locally rather than fighting the schools web filter to access them on YouTube. |

The field drawings could be put in a separate encrypted zip file. The point is: don't encrypt the file itself. Encrypt the container of the file so you don't have to download the unencrypted file later. |

Re: 2016 Game Manual Online
So I figured out how to download it to my computer. But last year, I was also able to download it to iBooks on my iPhone. Has anyone figured out how to do that this year? Thanks.

Re: 2016 Game Manual Online
There is so much more data than usual.
One might even say we are...OVERFLOWING with data. Kinda like....:ahh: Gah, maybe I'm overthinking it. |
Re: 2016 Game Manual Online
Who else is going to spend hopeless amounts of time trying to decode this thing? :)

It only takes a lucky guess. Just like winning powerball.

Well guys "Stronghold" is not the correct password. I'm out of ideas...

Should be able to reduce the character set: Anywhere from 15 to 10 characters (Trending down last year 15) Last year only Upper Case , Numbers and Special Pretty sure if someone has a supercomputer by reducing the range of characters and character sets we could get this cracked by launch.

Re: 2016 Game Manual Online
If you are trying to move the file to your tablet or phone from the browser, here is a method on how to upload the file. I downloaded the file to my laptop, then dropped it into an email (gmail in my case), and emailed it to myself. Since I have the same email address delivered to my iPhone and iPad, the file was emailed to those devices. From there, I had the option to transfer it to iBook or any PDF reader from the email. Word of caution, some email applications have a 5 MB file limitition - gmail does not. Other option would be to move to Dropbox, and open from there.
Have a great kick-off and a great season! Go Bees! Steve |

Re: 2016 Game Manual Online
I put the encrypted manual file onto a 5-1/4" floppy disk, so I'll have it with me when I go to the kickoff event and pick up the kit.
Or was that a thumb drive? Anyways, it's on my phone and my laptop. |

Re: 2016 Game Manual Online
A couple years ago, I got rid of about half of my old computers, I have fewer than 50 now. The oldest was a The Digital Group Z80 machine.

It's an early 1990s PS/2 Model M Space Saver keyboard. I bought a couple when you could still find them new on ebay for $5. Should have bought them all...

Re: 2016 Game Manual Online
Could someone please post the unencrypted game manual? I cannot get it on my iPad.
