Help Your Neighbors and Downloadable Content Pack 3

Written by Frank Merrick, 2016 NOV 22.

Help Your Neighbors

Now is a great time to reach out to teams you know in your area for a check-in. Do they need any support? How is the student recruiting going? And, even more fundamentally, are they even planning to participate in the 2017 season? I hope they are! We have what may just be an epic game on tap, but even if people think the game is ‘meh’, veteran teams not joining us for the 2017 season will still miss out on all the other things FIRST Robotics Competition has to offer. Did I mention earlier (I think I did!) that we’re now up to $40 Million in college scholarships available? That’s some serious cheddar, no matter how it’s sliced.

So please, reach out, and make the connection. People want to know that others care, and you can be the one to make the FIRST STEAMWORKS season just a little better for a team that needs a hand.

Downloadable Content Pack 3

In this blog, we asked teams for their creative submissions for possible inclusion in the upcoming Downloadable Content (DLC) Pack 3. We’ve received a few submissions, but would love to see more! For this reason, we’re extending the deadline for submission to Monday, December 5th. Please send those submissions to frcteamadvocate@firstinspires.org. If you are a team in the United States, I’m pretty sure you’ve got some time off around the Thanksgiving Holiday this week, how about putting some of it to creative use? Full details in the original blog.

Read the second heading, went to find the download link, was disappointed

Anyway at least there should be some cool stuff in the next stuff(more cool stuff then the last two)

Reintroducing this thread for the neighbor bit.

The "we have what may just be an epic game on tap, but even if the game is 'meh'..." part is interesting. It looks like Frank is saying the game has a good shot of being "epic". I don't know if he has said something similar in previous years (particularly leading up to Recycle Rush) but this could mean STEAMworks will likely earn a spot alongside or even beyond the quality of the great games in the current era.
