I'll probably be the only X-Cat at the webhug and it would be improper for me to sign the page since I did not work on the robot (unless you count the signage). I'd reccomend going to our pits to get the signature from those who truly deserve the credit. Particualrly our coach Henry who's explaination of our process basically won us the award.

The book and "Get Published" opportunity were mentioned at the kickoff. You can find out more information about the next edition at http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedFiles..._Published.pdf, or search the FIRST website.

Yay! Team 100 is in there!

The alumni who designed the award wining transmissions doesn't even know about this yet! We'll have to surprise him at Davis :D

BIG THANKS TO VESELIN KOLEV WHO HELPED MAKE THESE TRANSMISSIONS A REALITY!

Re: FIRST Robotics: Behind the Design
 

At the Championship, on Thursday, April 12th, we will be giving a talk about the "Get Published" project as a part of the FIRST workshops. This workshop could be utilized as an opportunity for teams to congregate and meet eachother. More details will be provided as the Championship nears.

TEAM COSMO #123 is in... We received the Email.

Coach Joe - "Drive team coach, team robot designer, engineer & mentor"
I also authored the editorial we submitted to Rockport last year; it will be interesting to see what they left in and/or added and what pix they used. I guess we'll see, only 27 more days.

See ya all at the Nat’s

Team 467 has 5 pages front and back on some page in the fifties.

Re: FIRST Robotics: Behind the Design
 

The Publisher dropped into the Boston Regional with some of the first copies from the press run. People seemed to like what they saw.

Re: FIRST Robotics: Behind the Design
 

Vince,

After seeing you at UTC,

any word on availability of the book at Championships?

Re: FIRST Robotics: Behind the Design
 

When we asked the publishers in Boston, they said that if it wasn't available at the Dome, that the Georgia Tech bookstore would have it

Re: FIRST Robotics: Behind the Design
 

I think i'm gonna purchase this and use it as an idea base for next year. 1023 is going to be going into new waters next season with some interesting design changes (for the good hopefully!).

Re: FIRST Robotics: Behind the Design
 

I'm still waiting for my pre-order to arrive from Amazon. Can't wait to check it out!

Re: FIRST Robotics: Behind the Design
 

As dtape (Jeff) said above, 467 is in the book - one of two MA teams (the other being 190). I stopped someone that was holding a book and asked if I could take a peek to see if we were in it. She looked at my and noticing my team shirt, said "oh yeah, you're in it, about 7-8 pages" Then proceeded to open it up and show me!

Very nice! Can't wait to get a copy!

Also, some of our students presented a copy of the book to Governor Patrick.

I had an idea we may have been in back in January, when I received an email asking for verification of some student info. After replying I then received a reply saying like "..I'll see if I can make the change - the book is going to press soon..."

Re: FIRST Robotics: Behind the Design
 

T, in order for them to show us the book, it had to have already be printed;)

Re: FIRST Robotics: Behind the Design
 

;) That was from an email I received back in January - before it was printed

Re: FIRST Robotics: Behind the Design
 

I am definitly buying it! I love checking out other teams bots, hopefully I can get it at Atlanta. Would be a great read on the 8 hour drive back.
