Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Invitation to Beta test the New Control System
Just a reminder to all Beta Test teams. In order to get your controller you must sign the FIRST disclosure agreement. This form "indicates your team agrees to disclose information on the new control system when FIRST gives permission to do so during the beta testing process and not before." (Bolding added for emphasis). So before you start making plans on when and where you plan on holding seminars, remember that we have to wait until FIRST authorizes us to release information. I just don't want anyone putting their cart in front of their horse.

Thanks to the WFA committee for processing a crazy number of beta applications and narrowing it down to a great list of 18 -- it could not have been easy.
And, congrats to the 18 beta teams! If there are gremlins in the system, we, the FIRST community, will deal with them.... you just need to find them for us. Now go forth and test, test, test! |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Invitation to Beta test the New Control System
For Team 340, I want to say that we are extremely excited for the opportunity to test the new control system.
We have a large density of teams in our immediate area and we will work closely with those teams yet at the same time we recognize the scarcity of this opportunity and will try our best to supply all teams with the very best information possible. 2009 has begun and we can't wait to start doing some Beta testing! |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Invitation to Beta test the New Control System
I thought I would just post a reminder out there about being respectful and understanding of the teams who were selected for this beta test. I am sure that all the teams chosen will do their best to bring the information to the community.
That being said please remember a few things.
I am sure there are a few other things that teams should think about but ultimately it comes down to this. FIRST is doing us a favor by even allowing this beta test to happen, don't turn it into a bad thing. Lets try to avoid the saying: "no good deed goes unpunished" and leave the teams who are putting the hard work in for all of us with a good feeling at the end of this by not criticizing them. |

FIRST made an excellent choice in selecting Team 103. Congratulations! |
Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Invitation to Beta test the New Control System
So how did the whole multi-team application thing work out? Did FIRST just pick one team on the application? I'm just curious.
Congratulations to team 668! And to our partner 254! This will make for a fantastic display at CalGames, and perhaps a WRRF workshop? |

Now one could say that if it hit the public someone might be able to quickly fix the problem. But as the complexity of the task increases it will be hit or miss if the problems can be solved. From reading posts over the past year or so since the new control system was announced I have come to realized that people are very nervous about it and the last thing we need at this point is a mob mentality spreading rumors. |
