When everything is ready, I would like to ship 2009 control systems out to teams who have paid their 2009 registration fee and who agree to pick up the additional shipping costs. Cross your fingers, right now it looks like the stars might align in late November.

128 days until Kickoff! See you then.

Anyone have an idea of how much the "extra shipping cost" will be?

Also how will they keep track of who got one and who didn't for teams at remote kickoffs?

Does it really matter? Even if it was $150 think of the value you are getting by being able to play with the control system for an extra month.

I am wondering if FIRST has to have the complete registration money or just a promise letter by then. Also how will they keep track of who got one and who didn't for teams at remote kickoffs?

I encourage all teams to setup their Workshops for learning Labview before that time. Teams will benefit tremendously if they program Labview and test out code on Lego NXT robotics system.
