Questions about de-cryption:
1. When will this happen? 2. How will it happen? Will we have to download another file? Thanks so much for this link. |

Sorry. Just make a Notepad file with the password once it is released on Saturday, and copy paste until you get the files without prompting after Saturday. And, for all who are not near CD, make sure you write that password down very quickly and in the right case formatting when they reveal it Saturday. It was only on the screen for like.. maximum 15 seconds last year, which was not nearly enough time. I hope they keep it up for a minute while someone is talking or something when they finally reveal it this year. |
Re: 2006 Rules Now Available Encrypted
I know that when I went to the main kickoff last year, they had the password up after everything was over and people were looking at the field. they will probably do something similar to that this year.

Re: 2006 Rules Now Available Encrypted
I just found this tidbit in section 6 (transportation), page 5:
"FIRST will allow you to keep all of your robot controls (Operator Interface, OI power supply, joysticks, etc.) and not ship them with your robot on Tuesday, 2/21/2006. This will allow you to continue to work on your programming. If you decide not to ship controls with your robot, please remember to bring your controls to your initial competition. FIRST does not have replacement controls." Are you supposed to have an extra RC, though? You need that for programming work. The rule will, at least, give teams time to tinker with control board design. Could this mean an interesting kind of programming and control challenge this year? Hmm… |

Well, I don't know....it IS a Robot CONTROLLER, and therefore is part of the "controls" per-se, but then again, you never know with those crazy FIRST people...
(just kidding, we love you guys) |

It was a good effort, but it didn't seem workable. I am glad that that they returned to the old rule. But... ...we often ended up killing ourselves after shipping to get the code right. It is easy to do because everyone agreed we HAD to make time to fix a broken weld or we wouldn't meet our ship date :-0 We could never muster the same courageous effort to fix the code because we could always fix the code after the ship date. FIRST tried to save us last year. We sort of didn't let them. So we go the old rule back. We've go no one to blame but ourselves (and that welder who took so long fixing the arm ;-) Joe J. |
Re: 2006 Rules Now Available Encrypted
huh...we were always under the impression that EVERYTHING had to be shipped...i guess our Rules reader didn't read that carefully...oops

Re: 2006 Rules Now Available Encrypted
I'll mirror everything at http://endeavour.zapto.org/usfirst/2006comp/.
|
Re: 2006 Rules Now Available Encrypted
I've also mirrored the files at the link below.
Sorry about the lack of file information, I did this quick. here |
Re: 2006 Rules Now Available Encrypted
We should have a list of mirrors somewhere, hopefully before Saturday.

Re: 2006 Rules Now Available Encrypted
All the documents together are just over 2MB. Usually the pneumatics part alone is bigger then that. Who needs dsl!

The Kit docs alone, will be like.. 2 pages worth of links on the internet as it was in previous years more than likely. It includes, spec sheets, photos, and all info on the parts themselves. The field will have drawings, and other info as well. What you see right now, is not all of what you are going to see in the next few days on that page. |
Re: 2006 Rules Now Available Encrypted
According to the Awards section, the theme of the animation this year has finally changed - "Ideas Realized" is the theme for this year. It will be interesting to see what everyone comes up with after having the same theme for the animation for quite some time now.
